Escape - Matisyahu

Running from the park

Sleeping out in the rain

From falling down the drain

Feeling drained from the main

Mutilated disease disaster deficient and dead

Raging waves with no name

Raining pain distorted face

Placing blame

Hyper-judging all the time

Lost my mind on the train

Running from the insane

Children taught to blow their brains out in the holy name

Running for fame where everybody knows your name

Running the same vein empty shatters splattered nothing matters anyway

Running for something to say

Looking for meaning the speech

Running from a fray

It’s the great escape

Got to sneak away

When they look away we’ll just fade away

Carry me in your memory

If I should pass away before the break of day

Like the light life happy clouds fluff

Hazy rice sunny days puff fly a kite afraid to face the night

What if I can’t make it right

The sword cuts both ways

Night and day

Joy that goes away

Things seem to sway

Nothing stays the same

Even in this madness we will survive

Even in this madness we will survive

It’s the great escape

Got to sneak away

When they look away we’ll just fade away

Carry me in your memory

If I should pass away before the break of day

Running through the forest and I’m running through the woods

Running my whole life running like I should

Running for survival

Running from the rifle

Running for the Bible blood libels and false idols

Craziness inside me

Afraid to pick through the bushes and see

Closed off bogged down reality

Bind barbed wire with no key

Running

Running

It’s the great escape

Got to sneak away

When they look away we’ll just fade away

Carry me in your memory

If I should pass away before the break of day
