Matisyahu - Escape lyrics

Running from the park Sleeping out in the rain From falling down the drain Feeling drained from the maimed Mutilated, diseased, disastered, 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 from fame Where everybody knows your name Running the same vain empty Shattered, splattered, nothing matters anyway Running for something to say Looking for meaning in speech running from afraid 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 pa** away before the break of day Like the light life happy clouds Fluff hazy bright, sunny daze 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 pa** 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 from the Bible, blood libels and false idols Craziness inside me, afraid to peek through the bushes And see closed off, locked down Reality behind 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 pa** away before the break of day
