Relient K - Be My Escape lyrics
[Relient K - Be My Escape lyrics]
I've given up on giving up slowly
I'm blending in so you won't even know me
Apart from this whole world
That shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention
Is my one last shot at redemption
'Cause, I know to live
You must give your life away
And I've been housing all
This doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house
All the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and
That might be the death of me
And even though there's no way
Of knowing where to go
I promise I'm going because
Ooh, I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that
I fell into by mistake
Ooh, I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You
I'm begging You to be my escape
I'm given up on doing this alone now
'Cause, I've failed and I'm ready
To be shown how
You've told me the way and now
I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that
It makes life not fair
'Cause, I've been housing all
This doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house
All the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and
That might be the death of me
And even though there's no way
Of knowing where to go
Promise I'm going because
Ooh, I gotta get outta here
'Cause, I'm afraid that this complacency
Is something I can't shake, yeah
Ooh, I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You
I'm begging You to be my escape
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self-detained and forced to live in
This mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for You to
Do what You can with me
But, I can't ask You to
Give what You already gave
'Cause, I've been housing all
This doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house
All the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out
That might be the death of me
And even though there's no way
Of knowing where to go
I promise I'm going because
Ooh, I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that
I fell into by mistake
Ooh, I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You
I’m begging You to be my escape
I fought You for so long
I should have let You win
Oh, how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do
Was save my own skin (Oh)
But so were You so were You
I'm blending in so you won't even know me
Apart from this whole world
That shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention
Is my one last shot at redemption
'Cause, I know to live
You must give your life away
And I've been housing all
This doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house
All the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and
That might be the death of me
And even though there's no way
Of knowing where to go
I promise I'm going because
Ooh, I gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that
I fell into by mistake
Ooh, I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You
I'm begging You to be my escape
I'm given up on doing this alone now
'Cause, I've failed and I'm ready
To be shown how
You've told me the way and now
I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that
It makes life not fair
'Cause, I've been housing all
