The Great Escape Lyrics by Aidan Hawken

The Sleep of Trees

0

The way it is now
We are half gone
So we shed our skin
Kiss the ground. Yeah
And the hole in our hearts
Grows darker everyday
We spend our time here so afraid. Yeah
It’s time you wake up
Come on wake up
Lift you head up
Feel the ground
You’re on your feet
You are awake
Don’t fall asleep
You'll fall asleep
You know we’re almost there
I feel it in the air we breathe
The air we breathe
Come on let’s go
On this great escape
Don’t turn around
And don’t look back
Say you want me
Say you need me and I’ll
Fill the hole in your heart
With Love
Once we walk away
We won’t look back
To the ghosts we left behind
In the dust no
Like children we set off
To never never return
Fueled by desire
Cities burn yeah
It’s to wake up
Come on wake up
Lift you head up
Feel the ground
You’re on your feet
You are awake
Don’t fall asleep
You'll fall asleep
The fire’s over there
The smoke is in the air we breathe
The air we breathe
Come on let’s go
On this great escape
We’ll run away
And we won’t look back
And we’ll fill the hole that’s is our heart
We’ll run away
We’ll run away
Say you want me
Say you need me
And I’ll fill the hole in your heart
With my love
