Matisyahu - Escape lyrics
[Matisyahu - Escape lyrics]
Running from the park
Sleeping out in the rain
From falling down the drain
Feeling drained from the maimed
Mutilated, diseased, disastered
Deficient and dead raging waves with no name
Raining pain, distorted face, placing blame
Hyper judging all the time
Lost my mind on the train
Running from the insane
Children taught to blow their brains
Out in the holy name running from fame
Where everybody knows your name
Running the same vain empty
Shattered, splattered, nothing matters anyway
Running for something to say
Looking for meaning in speech
Running from afraid
It's the great escape, got to sneak away
When they look away we'll just fade away
Carry me in your memory
If I should pass away before the break of day
Like the light life happy clouds
Fluff hazy bright, sunny daze puff
Fly a kite afraid to face the night
What if I can't make it right?
The sword cuts both ways night and day
Joy that goes away, things seem to sway
Nothing stays the same
Even in this madness we will survive
Even in this madness we will survive
It's the great escape, got to sneak away
When they look away, we'll just fade away
Carry me in your memory
If I should pass away before the break of day
Running through the forest and I'm
Running through the woods
Running my whole life, running like I should
Running for survival, running from the rifle
Running from the Bible
Blood libels and false idols
Craziness inside me
Afraid to peek through the bushes
And see closed off, locked down
Reality behind barbed wire with no key
Running, running
It's the great escape, got to sneak away
When they look away, we'll just fade away
Carry me in your memory
If I should pass away before the break of day
Sleeping out in the rain
From falling down the drain
Feeling drained from the maimed
Mutilated, diseased, disastered
Deficient and dead raging waves with no name
Raining pain, distorted face, placing blame
Hyper judging all the time
Lost my mind on the train
Running from the insane
Children taught to blow their brains
Out in the holy name running from fame
Where everybody knows your name
Running the same vain empty
Shattered, splattered, nothing matters anyway
Running for something to say
Looking for meaning in speech
Running from afraid
It's the great escape, got to sneak away
When they look away we'll just fade away
Carry me in your memory
If I should pass away before the break of day
Like the light life happy clouds
Fluff hazy bright, sunny daze puff
Fly a kite afraid to face the night
What if I can't make it right?
The sword cuts both ways night and day
Joy that goes away, things seem to sway
Nothing stays the same
Even in this madness we will survive
Even in this madness we will survive
It's the great escape, got to sneak away
When they look away, we'll just fade away
Carry me in your memory
If I should pass away before the break of day
Running through the forest and I'm
Running through the woods
Running my whole life, running like I should
Running for survival, running from the rifle
Running from the Bible
Blood libels and false idols
Craziness inside me
Afraid to peek through the bushes
And see closed off, locked down
Reality behind barbed wire with no key
Running, running
It's the great escape, got to sneak away
When they look away, we'll just fade away
Carry me in your memory
If I should pass away before the break of day
