lyrics

CAN WE ESCAPE?

The steps that you take and the rules that you break just to stay free
The path that you walk to fight the lies that they talk
It can be so hard to see
Have they got control of your mind and your soul, your identity?
It's the risks that you take that will set you free

Shut down your mind and join the line just to kill some time
Just trying to get by so you choose to comply
A life so undefined
You live blind with an absent mind and hide away
For fear of standing alone

I can't follow a beaten path when new fresh tracks take me to higher ground
I can't choose a path of abuse to try to escape a world of discontent

I want to run so far from here
So far from thoughts pushed into my mind
Can we escape?

I don't want to live a wasted life running from myself into others arms
I don't chase a broken dream drawn into a lie by someone else's charms
I'm swimming upstream
I'm swimming upstream and I'm getting nowhere fast
I'm breaking away from the common path
I have to reclaim my past

I want to run so far from here
So far from thoughts pushed into my mind
Can we escape?
