Escape Plan Lyrics by Chris Orrick

Portraits

2018

[Verse 1]
I went to sleep a fifth deep one night when I was twenty-three
Woke up sober, hungover, age of twenty-nine
I've never been the type to keep my feelings discreet
Sometimes I try to hide 'em buried under funny lines
Walked out of prison on the second day of January
No shirt, no shoes, no service on the flip phone
I made that cell my little sanctuary
Now I'm worried how I'll feel when I get home
It's like, I hung my pictures how I liked 'em
Found the perfect place to put 'em when the window lets that light in
And I got used to having cold feet, walking on that concrete, and how that jumpsuit fitted on me
Most people hate it when it's quiet, didn't hear the way that I did
They always made me appreciate the silence
I used to block it out and drift away (drift away)
But maybe leaving was a big mistake

[Chorus]
Just tryna stick to my escape plan (escape plan)
Just tryna stick to my escape plan (escape plan)
Just tryna stick to my escape plan
My escape plan
Just tryna stick to my escape plan (escape plan)
Just tryna stick to my escape plan (escape plan)
Just tryna stick to my escape plan
My escape plan

[Verse 2]
So, I'll be honest
Didn't fit in in the commons
And my commissary always was a little light
So yeah, I had my problems, oversensitive to comments
And probably had a tendency of picking fights
A little loudmouth, but fuck it, I'm out now
Time to get comfortable around crowds
See what's happening around town
Maybe grab a coffee, pick the records down at Found Sound
Just keep my head low, my cellmate said so
Try not to focus on your cellphone (hell no)
Remember, you don't gotta do this alone
Try not to focus on what used to be home
'Cause listen, that Stockholm Syndrome could block your vision
Put you right back into that same spot you've been in
You've gotta learn to be more honest with that
If you're not careful, you might wanna go back

[Chorus]
Just tryna stick to my escape plan (escape plan)
Just tryna stick to my escape plan (escape plan)
Just tryna stick to my escape plan
My escape plan
Just tryna stick to my escape plan (escape plan)
Just tryna stick to my escape plan (escape plan)
Just tryna stick to my escape plan
My escape plan

[Verse 3]
Always lookin' for the next fix
Wake up early, time for breakfast
Development arrested
Signs pointin' to the exit
Today I'm really gonna test it
Don't let it get the best, Chris
Have a good day, man
Just try to stick to your escape plan
You're gonna be great, man
Just stick to your escape plan
