Fire Escape Lyrics by Leighton Bright

Unloose

2019

[Spoken]
Just what is verbal and emotional abuse?
[Verse 1]
Yo, I hate my friends I hate my family I hate myself
How I'm supposed to love anybody when there is no one else
Higher than god just holdin' the hand that I was dealt
Feel like I called your bluff enough and you ain't fucking help
These blessings in disguise look a lot like depression
And when I speak to small groups I start to get the impression
That nobody really knows, and we all just guessing
But my life on the line so I send up a message, that reads
I'd give up all my possessions
If you stop me from stressing
About every mistake I make feel like a lesson
My life at your discretion
Just push me in a direction
Just gimme one connection so I can feel protection
I'm feeling real rejection
I didn't make the selection
I didn't vote but you telling me that I won the election
I'll pass on the collection
This is real reflection
If I call out the flaws then what the fuck is perfection
[Chorus]
I put my hands in the air
I put my hands down in prayer
But nobody really cares
Nobodies really there
I let go of all of my aims
And accepted all the blame
But everything stayed the same
Nobody really changed
[Spoken]
Yo
Yo
I don't really think they understand, though
[Verse 2]
Blind faith you require, but throw us into the fire
When decisions are dire, you know you preaching to the choir, the disciple of disciplined desires, dedicated to dogma, even dated a friar, damn
But what's it really take? For you to lift a hand?
Some nice melodies and chords backed up by a band
The blood is really fake, the body's really bland
The designing of signs was all part of the plan
So try to take a sip, and let the spirit move
But without the clips, and without the cues
Don't make an excuse, if you living proof
Then why you always trying to tone down and falsetto the truth
It was always abuse, the way that we were induced
Find a stain, blot with blame, and pass the tissue
Control who is refused, and who remains in the group
Break em down, build them up, and then repeat and seduce
[Chorus]
I put my hands in the air
I put my hands down in prayer
But nobody really cares
Nobodies really there
I let go of all of my aims
And accepted all the blame
But everything stayed the same
Nobody really changed
[Verse 3]
Two hands, eyes closed, knees bent, imposed
Soft songs, composed, no thoughts, opposed
The climate's control, the mood is a mode
The place is a tone, your sin is exposed
And it all felt real, so I made them a deal
I'd give up all my life, if somebody would heal
The broken body I feel, and loneliness I conceal
Abolish all of the apathy and fill it with zeal
But it all was a fake, a make-believe mistake
They had me dreaming away, but now I'm staying awake
In fact I'm looking to break, everything that you take
And elevate everybody that you tried to separate
And I know what's at stake, this the greatest escape
This the origin of an intellectual outbreak
And I'm hungry and gay, somebody pass me a plate
Fuck sandwiches somebody better bake me a cake
Bitch
