Lyrics

The Great Escape
V. 1
I?m so tired but inspired to kick a vicious habit of mine
In denial on trial the judge and jury by my own design
I need closure -- maybe exposure --- to something real to get me out this mess
Nothing can faze me --- I?m pro at lazy --- I don?t care how I look or how I dress
Sick of losing always choosing everything you need to just fit in
Chorus
It?s so tough to grow up in the world that?s real
Swimming with the sharks fighting for every meal
Some days it?s so hard to get out of bed
Why is the life in my head so much better instead
V. 2
I?m obsessive over protective a real neurotic poster child
Make decisions with such precision that I forget what the choice was about
The world?s so scary --- doesn?t care for me --- So I run from reality
Chorus
It?s so tough to grow up in the world that?s real
Swimming with the sharks fighting for every meal
Too many lights always turning to red
Why is the life in my head so much better instead
Bridge
Maybe I?ll take a holiday Smile at everyone I meet
Make small conversations about everyday situations
Who am I kidding? I really don?t give a __________
Chorus
It?s so tough to grow up in the world that?s real
Swimming with the sharks fighting for every meal
Some days it?s so hard to get out of bed
Why is the life in my head so much better instead
V. 3
Insignificant and innocent
Of just plain dumb enough to have been born
I?m consistent and insistent
On how to keep myself sheltered from the storm
Can you help me can you yell at me?
Slap my face and make me join the club
Chorus
It?s so tough to grow up in the world that?s real
Swimming with the sharks fighting for every meal
Some days it?s so hard to get out of bed
Why is the life in my head so much better instead
I?m not gonna give up my great escape
I?m too scared to try to tempt fate
I?ll do what I need to keep myself fed
But why?s the life in my head so much better instead
