Escape Artists

blend into the crowd
but there's pain in the masses
you cannot escape
from compassionate glances
more reminders that you failed
to control the pain yourself

get away get away
and watch me fall apart
get away get away
and watch me fall apart
get away get away
and watch me fall apart
get away (get away) get away (get away)

you're an escape artist
running from your hurt
you've tried your hardest
to hide what just won't work
but God will not turn back
from pursuing you
but your pride will never ask
Him to fix what you can't do

pull into the dark
there is comfort in your mind
but all the numbness
has been killing you inside
more reminders that you failed
to control the pain yourself

get away get away
and watch me fall apart
get away get away
and watch me fall apart
get away get away
and watch me fall apart
get away (get away) get away (get away)

you're an escape artist
running from your hurt
you've tried your hardest
to hide what just won't work
but God will not turn back
from pursuing you
but your pride will never ask
Him to fix what you can't do

just let it go...
(from the outside to inside
it breaks in or it caves in)
you can't escape...
(it will follow you there
wherever you run or hide)
just let it go...
(from the outside to inside
it breaks in or it caves in)
you can't escape...
(it will follow you there
wherever you run or hide)

you're an escape artist
running from your hurt
you've tried your hardest
to hide what just won't work
but God will not turn back
from pursuing you
but your pride will never ask
Him to fix what you can't do

stop being an escape artist

Wow, Curtis, this is really really good!! it sounds like something inspired. :)

Thanks! I can't even really remember what inspired it, lol. I really, really want to put it to music, but I have absolutely no way to do so. :'( It's a sad story. Maybe I'll write a song about it...

Very nice.

Hey, sorry about yesterday. My phone never rang and I didn't get your message until too late. (and I was waiting for an oil change) Thanks for thinking of us though!

Curtis said...

Oh! Not a problem. I figured that you guys were either busy or you didn't get to your messages. I should have called your home phone, but I spaced it off with getting ready for supper.

See you guys some other time, though? :-)
