Escape Goat Lyrics by Emeka

The Inner Workings Of The Mind

2022

[Intro]
What do I see?
What do I see?
What do I see?
What do I see?
What do I see?
What do I see?
10 years is the path I'm on
10 years
10 years is the path I'm on

[Hook]
Well
Well I became the goat
Coz they painted me the scape
Go down below
Go somewhere else
How the grass looks green on their landscape
Goat love the green
And the green keep me in a happy place
And the green keep me in this mental state

[Verse]
Don’t you wonder bout
Closed doors
And why we don’t come round yours no more
What’s more you stole my dreams and made thеm yours
But when those same bravе dreams have fought through
You then switch up
Now your moving loud
And you want applause
Your motive’s flawed
You are the cause
You are the reason
That I spend days and nights not eating
Though we both know
My feelings never mattered
So I close my door to keep my world from yours
And I give my all to the life I’m fighting for
Through these mental games
Through the mental strain
I’m pushing on
I got no choice

[Hook]
Yeah I became the goat
Coz they painted me the scape
Go down below
Go somewhere else
How the grass looks green on their landscape
Goat love the green
And the green keep me in a happy place
And the green keep me in this mental state
In the last 10 years I became

[Hook]
I became the goat
Coz they painted me the scape
Goat that you know
Go somewhere else
How the grass looks green on their landscape
Goat love the green
And the green keep me in a happy place
And the green keep me in this mental state
Else I’m just left with all this
Else I’m just left with all this
This why I close my doors
To keep my world from yours
I’m left with all this
You're why I close my doors
To keep my world from yours

[Verse]
Fam
I don’t know
I just don’t know
I just don’t understand
The way this handled
Man what’s the baggage?
Coz these eggshells you got walking so fragile
And I can’t stand you
Man I could never ever tell you how I felt
Coz you can’t handle it
What’s with that?

[Hook]
I became the goat
Coz you painted me the scape
Goat that you know
Go somewhere else
How the grass looks green on their landscape
Goat love the green
And the green keep me in a happy place
And the green keep me in this mental state
Else I’m just left with

[Bridge]
I became the goat
Coz I need escape
I became the goat
Coz I need escape
I became the goat
Coz I need escape
I became the goat
Coz I need escape
I need escape

[Verse]
I lost to myself
To find myself
In past
The cane was more than able
To replace my happy days
I’m in a daze
I’m so amazed
That you decline communication
To resolve all of this pain
So now its get away
Cuz you wanna sweep things under carpets
And silence all the elephants in this room
Whilst hiding skeletons in your closet
Nah bruh I’m off it
I won't allow the nonsense
Address the topic
You try palm it off
You can’t
Clock of hurt its hand’s keep ticking
Still you won’t face the music
You pause the song
All the blame you charge to me
You slide me the bill
You pass it on

[Bridge]
I’m not having it
But yeah that’s me
And what I see
But yeah that’s me
And what I

[Outro]
Like this hurting, hurt me
To where
I became a goat
Coz I need escape
Goat that you know
Go somewhere else
How the grass looks green on their landscape
Goat love the green
And the green keep me in
A happy place
And the green keep me in this mental state
Watch me
In the next 10 years
