Relient K - Be My Escape Lyrics
I've given up on giving up slowlyI'm blending in so you won't even know meApart from this whole world that shares my fateAnd this one last bullet you mentionIs my one last shot at redemptionCause I know to live you must give your life awayAnd I've been housing all this doubtAnd insecurityAnd I've been locked inside that houseAll the while you hold the keyAnd I've been dying to get outAnd that might be the death of meAnd even though there's no way of knowingWhere to goI promise I'm goingBecauseI got to get out of hereI'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistakeI got to get out of hereAnd I'm begging youI'm begging youI'm begging you to be my escapeI've given up on doing this alone nowCause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown howYou've told me the way, and I'm trying to get thereAnd this life sentence that I'm servingI admit, that I'm every bit deservingBut the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fairBecauseI've been housing all this doubtAnd insecurityAnd I've been locked inside that houseAll the while you hold the keyAnd I've been dying to get outAnd that might be the death of meAnd even though there's no way of knowingWhere I'm goingI promise I'm going because..I got to get out of hereCause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake againI got to get out of hereAnd I'm begging youI'm begging youI'm begging you to be my escapeI am a hostage to my own humanitySelf detained and forced to live in this mess I've madeAnd all I'm asking is for you to do what you can with meBut I can't ask you to give what you already gaveBecause I've been housing all this doubtAnd insecurityAnd I've been locked inside that houseAll the while you hold the keyAnd I've been dying to get outThat might be the death of meAnd even though there's no way of knowing where to goI promise I'm goingBecauseI got to get out of hereI'm stuck inside this rut I fell into by mistakeI got to get out of hereAnd I'm begging youI'm begging youI'm begging you to be my escapeI fought youFor so longI should have let you winOh, how we regret those things we doAnd all IWas tryingTo do was save my own skinOh, but so were youSo were you
