[Verse 1: Kevin Hackett]
Blood on my nose
From all the highs, stuck in this low
Once my demise, turned into my hope
I'm swimming alone
It was either sink or swim
It was always believe this that he exists
But the meanings twist when you see friends leave and perceive these shifts that you're knee deep in
Heaven and hell rage inside of my mind
I find I'm caged all of the time by lies when Satan is in disguise
These games he plays I'm tryna define
The real, the fake, these faded lines, I'm wasting time
Life is short, the pace of mine is racing, I
Wanna fall in love again
But tides are turning, waves are breaking, I'm still feeling nothing
Man, it's come to this
You call on me and I run from it, just like my older brother did
And as of late it feels like we're becoming friends, but
I want more
Heart made out of cardboard
This loves fake and without yours
Who would I live in it all for
Free fallin' through this life until I graduated
Hit the water fully clothed and I can't escape it

[Chorus: Adrian Stresow]
I need an escape
(x4)

[Verse 2: Kevin Hackett]
This is my life, this is my YOUTH
I ran out of time, hitting the water then drowning in blue
Looking for truth, I found it in you
Sinking in what I've amounted to lead
From all the friends I was willing to lose
To all of the people I wanted to be
I'm 19, living inside my mind's dream
Over my life I've found truth, but I still have yet to find me
I wanna live off music
I wanna live off art
I don't wanna grow old
Asking God if I can hit restart
At a job that don't fit my heart, but does a job define who you are?
Living just to all play our part
Day to day until we depart, I know
We're made for more than all of this
My youth may pass, my days will end
And all this bliss will fall to sin
The fault in life is all of it
The ocean hits, we fall in it
Though the waters shake my confidence, I'm confident we're called to this
Your hands grab mine, pulling me out the sea
And all this time, I'm where I'm supposed to be

[Chorus: Adrian Stresow]
I need an escape
(x4)

[Outro: Kaleb Mitchell, Adrian Stresow & Levi Hinson]
Will you be my escape
I need an escape
(x8)
I need an escape
I need an escape
