Escape Artists - Rise Against

Undercover of the dark night

Avoid the clattered street lights

And disappear at dawn

Camouflage ourselves to get by

Hiding here in plain sight

Waiting for a sign to come

It’s the lottery of life

We all play to just get by

But some of us escaped

And found a better way, a better life

The ones that got away now

Drifted from the herd

Slip through the fingers of your world

The ones that got away now

Never to return

We left your world, to build our own

And off the grid we’re building

Able but unwilling

To bow to this design

There is a light, there is a way out

Safe before we all drown

The boundaries have been redefined

We are products of a place

But our ties have been erased

A wilderness awaits

And lost is something we’ve been trying to find

The ones that got away now

Drifted from the herd

Slip through the fingers of your world

The ones that got away now

Never to return

We left your world, to build our own

Gave up our place

In line to run so far away

To break free from

This endless race is never won

This endless pace we can’t outrun

The blade spinning closer

We’ll keep our composure

We are the ones that got away now

Drifting from the herd

We are the ones that got away now

Never to return

And from your clutches we’re escaping

Yeah from your grip, we are breaking free

We got away (ones that got away)

Yeah!

Got away (ones that got away)

We got away (ones that got away)

Yeah!
