You can't see the part of me
The secret part I hide from you
You can't feel what burns in me
My deep desires can't come through
Through the maze of my mind
Is no guiding light that shines for you
You can't see the part of me
The secret part I hide from you

I can't stand this powerlessness
It is like hide and seek for me
Nothing more than living tissue
Wrapped over stone

Where is the light
That used to shine down on me
Where is the sight
I once relied on to be guided
And lead through the unknown
Of this landscape
Of delusion, Illusion
Of this valley of doom and confusion
This map inside my head

I'm the escapist
Estranged from a world of lies
I'm encaged and enclosed
In my emptiness
I'm the escapist
Bricked in my walls
Don't try to save me
Your screams don't reach me anymore

How can you do this to me
I can't face you without feeling guilty
Why don't you move, why don't you
Just stand up and tell me
That everything's alright that you are by my side
I want you to remember
Where is the light

Where is the light
That used to shine down on me
Where is the sight
I once relied on to be guided
And lead through the unknown
Of this landscape
Of delusion, Illusion
Of this valley of doom and confusion
This map inside my head

I'm the escapist
Estranged from a world of lies
I'm encaged and enclosed
In my emptiness
I'm the escapist
Bricked in my walls
Don't try to save me
Your screams don't reach me anymore

Why don't you just give it up
Cause there are many, many ways
For you to get it started
So much beauty is lying waste
If you don't find your way back
Back to your ordinary life
Because there's never been a lack
Of passion in you

I'm the escapist
Estranged from a world of lies
I'm encaged and enclosed
In my emptiness

I'm the escapist
Bricked in my walls
Don't try to save me
Your screams don't reach me anymore
