Rise Against - Escape Artists lyrics

Undercover of the dark night
Avoid the clattered streetlights
And disappear at dawn
Camouflage ourselves to get by
Hiding here in plain sight
Waiting for a sign to come

It's the lottery of life
We all play to just get by
But some of us escaped
And found a better way, a better life

The ones that got away now
Drifted from the herd
Slip through the fingers of your world
The ones that got away now, never to return
We left your world to build our own

And off the grid we're building
Able but unwilling to bow to this design
There is a light, there is a way out
Safe before we all drown
The boundaries have been redefined

We are products of a place
But our ties have been erased
A wilderness await's
And lost is something we've
Been tryin' to find

The ones that got away now
Drifted from the herd
Slip through the fingers of your world
The ones that got away now, never to return
We left your world to build our own

Gave up our place i line to run so far away
To break free from
This endless race is never won
This endless pace we can't outrun

The blade spinning closer
We'll keep our composure

We are the ones that got away now
Drifting from the herd
We are the ones that got away now
Never to return
And from your clutches we're escaping
Yeah, from your grip, we are breaking free

We got away (Ones that got away) , yeah
Got away (Ones that got away)
We got away (Ones that got away) , yeah
