Escape Lyrics - Light - 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
