Song: Escape
Album: Light
Intro: Bm
Bm G
Bm
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
B5 A5
Placing blame, hyper-judging all the time
G5 F#5
Lost my mind on the train, running from the insane
E5 F#5
Children taught to blow their, brains out in the holy name
D5 E5 E5 D5 Bm
Running for fame where, everybody knows your name
Em
Running the same vein empty
G
shatters splattered nothing matters anyway, running for something to say
Bm
Looking for meaning the speech, running from a fray
Chorus:
G F#m Em
It's the great escape
Bm G
Got to sneak away
F#m Em Bm
When they look away we'll just fade away
G F#m Em
Carry me in your memory
Bm G
If I should pass away
F#m F# Bm
Before the break of day
G F#m Em Bm
B5 A5
Like the light life happy clouds fluff
G5
Hazy rice sunny days puff
F#5 E5
Fly a kite afraid to face the night
F#5
What if I can't make it right
D5
The sword cuts both ways, night and day
Bm
Joy that goes away, things seem to sway
Em
Nothing stays the same
G
Even in this madness we will survive
Bm
Even in this madness we will survive
Chorus
Bm
Running through the forest and I'm running through the woods
Running my whole life running like I should
Em
Running for survival, running from the rifle
Bm
Running for the Bible blood libels and false idols
Bm
Craziness inside me
Afraid to pick through the bushes and see
Closed off bogged down reality
Bind barbed wire with no key
Running Running
Chorus
G F#m Em Bm x2
