Escape

Stray View

Compositor: David Escamilla

I’ve tried my best to not get carried away
I'm always caving under the pressure
Despite all I know
I can’t help but do this alone

Every second I waste
The more I'm losing my faith
The path keeps growing longer
I tried to make all changes I needed to make
It's like I'm destined for disaster

Any time I catch my breath again
It only lasts a moment
It’s so easy to throw my life away
So I’d rather take a chance
On what I'm meant to be

I always get so close then lose it
I'm not sure what’s wrong with me
So many self induced illusions
Disguised as clarity

Now, I’ve lost my mind
I keep racing time
I still question myself
Where do I draw the line?
I know how to put up a fight
I took way too long to realize

Any time I catch my breath again
It only lasts a moment
It’s so easy to throw my life away
So I’d rather take a chance
On what I'm meant to be
I’d rather take
Rather take a chance
I’d rather take
Rather take a chance
It might be the death of me
To see what I'm meant to be

Manifested my own fucked up disease
Now I won’t stand a chance
Unless I burn it to the ground
I won't let it take me down
I won't let it take me down

Any time I catch my breath again
It only lasts a moment
It’s so easy to throw my life away
So I’d rather take a chance
On what I'm meant to be
I’d rather take
Rather take a chance
I’d rather take
Rather take a chance
It might be the death of me
To see what I'm meant to be
