Backlot Lyrics by ​cloudwatch

Escapism

2023

[Verse 1]
Breathing down my neck
Like a CD, you eject
Can I get your perspective on the matters in my head?

Repeating what I said
Like a mirror, you reflect
Like a tv, you project

Like an addict, you protect
What I'm hiding in my head
Stop hiding in your bed like they haven't seen you yet

Haven't you been fed?
The lies they whisper in our ears
Screaming all our fears like a demon on the pier

I wish I could go disappear
Like I'm never here
Like I never fled in fear

Like it's been a year since I could settle down
Like I tried to drown
'Cause I couldn't live with dying and I couldn't see you frown

[Pre Chorus]
Why do you hide?
What are you feeling on the inside?
You know I'm always here for you

[Chorus]
You know I love you, don't you?
You know I care
It won't stop without leaving
I just can't settle
I just can't settle down

You know I love you, don't you?
You know I care
It won't stop without leaving
I just can't settle
I just can't settle down

[Verse 2]
Devour the sensation
Read me like a presentation
Make me your declaration to the person that you'll be

The person I want to see
Like I widowed in the silence
Like I'm dying from the violence
Like I fell apart

Like you never even fucking loved me from the start
Like I never gave you my heart
Like I never fell apart

When you said no one will love me
'Cause you couldn't do the same
Couldn't keep your hands together and you couldn't live in vain

[Pre Chorus]
Why do you hide?
What are you feeling on the inside?
You know I'm always here for you

[Chorus]
You know I love you, don't you?
You know I care
It won't stop without leaving
I just can't settle
I just can't settle down

You know I love you, don't you?
You know I care
It won't stop without leaving
I just can't settle
I just can't settle down

[Outro]
I just can't settle
I just can't settle down (settle down)

I just can't settle
I just can't settle down
