lyrics

I don’t know this world I’m living in
Based on fear and its deepest hate
Their pretenses they cloud my mind
I can’t see a new beginning in faith

AhhhhhhhhHaaaaaaahHahahahahahahHha 4x

All these stings are born from pain
They turn the whole quit world insane
Time after time after time again
This place no longer feels mine

Leaving here, while you’re asleep
I‘m on the quest for a higher me
Craving gates, planes, instead of sheep
Extend my mind to be personally free

Why do I feel the need for escape?
Is my place here until I break?
Or is my calling to reshape?
A world that is real yet fake…

AhhhhhhhhHaaaaaaahHahahahahahahHha 4x
I am here but I’m so small
I seek change, but hit a solid wall
My mission seems strange to you all
But far out there I hear my call!

My Great Escape
Your Great Escape
Our Great Escape
This Great Escape
A Great Escape
The Great Escape
Escape right now!
