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.
