Escape Act Lyrics by The Active Set

The Active Set

2008

You've advertised your intentions, you're going to get out of this alive
Pulled together quite a crowd, a crowd that hopes you'll survive
How can you let them down, after building all their hopes up?
How can you let them down, drop everything and give up?
In this plastic tank with arms and legs bound, together with chains
It will turn out you're a fake when Houdini you're not, and your chances are shot
And you've made a fool of yourself
You've minimized the consequences, you think you can just drop all of this
She's left hanging around here crossing her fingers, it's you that she'll miss
How can you let her down, after building all her hopes up?
How can you let her down, and leave her poor heart torn up?
You worked so hard in the first place, to make things how they are today
Do you assume that it's so easy to drop it all and walk away
You think you thought of everything, everything but the whole world you built
They'll all tear their tickets and walk away, as your lungs fill up, and you drown with your guilt
Why did you let them down, after building all their hopes up?
Why did you let them down, 'cause now you've really messed up
In this plastic tank with arms and legs bound, together with chains
It has turned out you're a fake 'cause Houdini you're not, and your chances are shot
And you've made a fool of yourself
Why make a fool of yourself?
