My whole life is an escape filled with bruises and scrapes
Watching things give or take, while i run to escape.
First from school, then from work.
Escaped from an old tee shirt that i always wore,

My life continued as the escapes got more frequent
And never went away.
With drink or dreams and other things the road to escape called.
Until to my bed, my soul fled and escaped deep inside.

Trying to escape reality, so though sleeping on the outside
Escaping from the real world found myself inside
Living in hell... til God took me out.
Once out of the dark I stayed in the light
Once again to escape the terrors of the night
That always began at three a.m.
Yes, that sounds about right.
Shall we escape tonight ?

But I waited to long to reach it
And now here I am, stuck in the dust
