• 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

  and this one last bullet you mention

  is 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 am going

  because

  i’ve got to get out of here

  i’m stuck inside this rut that i fell into by mistake

  i got to get out of here

  and i’m begging you

  i’m begging you to be my escape

  i’ve given up on doing this alone now

  cause i’ve failed and i’m ready to be shown how

  you’ve told me the way

  and now i am 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

  because i got to get out of here

  cause i’m afraid that this complacency is something i can’t shake

  i got to get out of here

  and 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

   

  i fought you

  for so long

  i should have let you win

  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

  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 am going

  because

  i’ve got to get out of here

  i’m stuck inside this rut that i fell into by mistake

  i got to get out of here

  and i’m begging you

  i’m begging you to be my escape

  —-Relient K “be my escape”
