Escape Lyrics by Eric Gillette

The Great Escape (artist:Eric Gillette)

2016

[Instrumental intro]
\n
\nBreaking down, he turns inside
\nHe′s finding need for his disguise
\nLonging for the chance to change
\nBut still he's passing all the blame
\n
\nSinking further in his mind
\nHe stays inside to pass the time
\nPouring out his soul
\nHe rides and he knows
\nYes he knows there′s more to life
\n
\nStill he tries, yes he tries to live his life
\nStill he tries and he tries to escape his mind
\n
\nThen out from underneath the pain the darkness fades
\nWelcoming the light within, restoring faith
\nBreathing deeper once again, he's wondering why
\nTrapped inside his head he stays for all his life
\n
\nSet me free
\nTo you I pray
\nAnd I'll stand by your side
\nGive me everything I need
\nAnd I′ll no longer hide
\n
\nNow you can see that there′s life beyond tomorrow
\nBut you act like you don't understand
\nYou live the kind of life that only helps yourself
\nBut you won′t deny a helping hand
\n
\nAll along you knew the truth
\nAnd never stepped outside
\nDid the things you wanted to
\nAnd barely walked the line
\n
\nNow you can see that there's life beyond tomorrow
\nStill you act like you don′t understand
\nYou live the kind of life that only helps yourself
\nBut you won't deny my helping hand, no
\n
\nHe′s reaching out within the sound
\nThere's something more if you'll unlock the door
\nHe′s reaching out, you can′t run now
\nIt's not too late for you to seal your fate
\n
\n[Instrumental break]
\n
\nIt′s the end, you're finally free
\nThe one you fear no longer speaks
\nThe weight is lifted, the past is gone
\nYou are not bound, the war is won
\n
\nDrifting faster toward the light
\nThere′s no depth, no sense of time
\nNow you're free from the beast inside
\nNo longer captive by your mind
\n
\nYou were meant for more than fear and pain
\n
\nYou belong\n\n
