Escape [Verse I] When metal faces the eye And the time ticking away before the last blink Something comes in mind of how to escape A collapse the ground to have another chance It’s not quick enough when the bullet draws in Soon the clock runs out pointing at destiny A cold finger to pull the trigger And suddenly the heart race begins All seems to last for years But truthfully you have under a second to think [Pre Chorus] Today I fall down into darkness And tomorrow the days grow longer [Chorus] No more living in the shadow I won’t let fear run my life No more screaming of this pain I won’t let the hurt control And no matter how hard I break it up It’ll always leave its mark And eventually pick me apart I’ve become involved with something I can’t escape [Verse II] The tables have been turned And now there’s a second hand to be played That’s be dealt in a random order Some believe fate decides the winner Others believe it’s from coincidence While the game is still played I’ll soon learn from my mistake That the card doesn’t beat the player But the player who beats the player [Pre Chorus] It’s today I’ll make my move And tomorrow you’ll feel the effects [Chorus] No more living in the shadow I won’t let fear run my life No more screaming of this pain I won’t let the hurt control And no matter how hard I break it up It’ll always leave its mark And eventually pick me apart I’ve become involved with something I can’t escape [Bridge] Sand storms run through my sight I find myself caught back where I began Telling me I’ll never escape my fate [x2] [Chorus] No more living in the shadow I won’t let fear run my life No more screaming of this pain I won’t let the hurt control And no matter how hard I break it up It’ll always leave its mark And eventually pick me apart I’ve become involved with something I can’t escape
