The Great Escape lyrics

I can understand how the ages are rough

And they cut you like the tiny slithers of glass

And you feel too much

And you don't know how long you're gonna last,

But everyone you know, is tryin'a smooth it over,

Find a way to make the hurt go away,

But everyone you know, is tryin'a smooth it over,

Like you're trying to scream underwater.

But, I won't let you make the great escape,

I'm never gonna watch you checkin out of this place

I'm not gonna lose you

Cause the passion and pain

Are gonna keep you alive someday,

Gonna keep you alive someday.

I feel like I could wave my first infront of your face

And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing,

And you retreat to your silent corner

Like you decided the fight was over for ya.

Everyone you know, is tryin'a smooth it over,

Find a way to make the hurt go away,

Everyone you know, is tryin'a smooth it over,

Everyone needs a floor they can fall through.

I won't let you make the great escape,

I'm never gonna watch you checkin outta this place

I'm not gonna lose you

Cause the passion and pain

Are gonna keep you alive someday,

They're gonna keep you alive someday.

Oh, Terrified of the dark, but not if you go with me

And I don't need a pill to make me know

And I wrote the book already,

But that chapter of my life will soon be done.

I'm the king of the great escape

You're not gonna watch me checkin outta this place

You're not gonna lose me

Cause the passion and pain

Are gonna keep us alive, someday

Yeah, the passion and the pain

Are gonna keep us alive someday, someday.
