Be My Escape

lyrics by Relient K

I�ve given up on giving up slowly
I�m blending in so you won�t even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention
It�s my one last shot at redemption
Cause I know to live you must give your life away

And I�ve been housing all this doubt
and insecurity
And I�ve been locked inside that house
All the while you hold the key
And I�ve been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though there�s no way of knowing
Where to go
I promise I�m going because�

I gotta get out of here
I�m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get out of here
And I�m begging you, I�m begging you, I�m begging you to be my escape

I�ve given up on doing this alone now
Guess I failed and I�m ready to be shown how
You told me the way and now I�m trying to get there
And this life sentence that I�m serving
I admit that I�m every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Cause I�ve been housing all this doubt
and insecurity
And I�ve been locked inside that house
All the while you hold the key
And I�ve been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though there�s no way of knowing
Where to go
I promise I�m going because�

I gotta get out of here
Cause I�m afraid that this complacency is something I can�t shake (yeah)
I gotta get out of here
And I�m begging you, I�m begging you, I�m begging you to be my escape

I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I�ve made
And all I�m asking is for you to do what you can with me
But I can�t ask you to give what you already gave.

Cause I�ve been housing all this doubt
and insecurity
And I�ve been locked inside that house
All the while you hold the key
And I�ve been dying to get out
That might be the death of me
And even though there�s no way of knowing
Where to go
I promise I�m going because�

I gotta get out of here
I�m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get out of here
And I�m begging you, I�m begging you, I�m begging you to be my escape

I fought you for so long
I should have let you in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin (oh)
But so were you
So were you
