[Verse 1]
Here we sit now, camouflaged
[?] cover
My fate washed away [?]
[?] our philosophy
And are you still awake? I hear it too
The sound of ten thousand [?]
[?]
This time, we [?]
[?]

[Verse 2]
The radio is quiet, don't say no
[?], we begin to fall [short/forward?]
Don't wanna be God knows
We all see what's going on, more trouble up ahead
[?] for those lessons we [burned/learned?]
Are we ever gonna dignify our cause?
Now I don't fucking sleep now
Can't find a melody
[?]

[Chorus]
If I held your face to the mirror, would you smile?
If I held your face underwater, would you fight all of the lies?
[Refrain]
We're waiting for the great escape
We're waiting for the great escape
We're waiting for the great escape
We're waiting for the great escape

[Verse 3]
If you ever get to see outside
Maybe you can send a letter if you like
If that's alright
Tell me there's hope within our reach
Tell me what it's like living life in peace
It's so profound
You found a way out now

[Refrain]
Still waiting for the great escape
Still waiting for the great escape
Still waiting for the great escape

[Verse 4]
The conversation dies, [?]
Ain't no life along the way
These things always go south
Yeah, we fail to dig our way out
We all see what's going on, more trouble up ahead
[?] for those lessons we [burned/learned?]
And we're never gonna see inside the reason
But we're never gonna dignify our cause
Now I don't fucking sleep now
Can't find a remedy
So much [?]
[Chorus]
If I held your face to the mirror, would you smile?
If I held your face underwater, would you fight for your life?
As I [?] on the back of my neck
You're telling me not to let you go
If I held your face to the mirror, would you smile?

[Refrain]
We're waiting for the great escape
We're waiting for the great escape
We're waiting for the great escape
We're waiting for the great escape
