Escapist
And this one is certainly an interesting story,
It starts with an ending,
And we're both characters in a play,
On the same stage, but on a different page.
And you'll go on to become the queen of some kingdom,
And I'll be that monster of myth,
Off in some forest, mire or filth, yeah.
This time around, I'll meet you halfway,
And I won't spend my life,
Lying awake at night.
And they'll say I'm the emerald missing from your crown,
(And they'll say I'm the emerald that's missing from your crown,
the greatest escapist the world has ever known)
The greatest escapist the world has ever known.
(And I'll say I'm the fabled one that's always let you down,
the greatest escapist the world has ever known)
Now it's so clear to me,
We should have seen this coming,
Back at the beginning,
When we both chose to take this road to the same place,
But at a different pace.
This time around, I'll meet you halfway,
And I won't spend my life,
Lying awake at night.
And they'll say I'm the emerald missing from your crown,
(And they'll say I'm the emerald that's missing from your crown,
the greatest escapist the world has ever known)
The greatest escapist the world has ever known .
(And I'll say I'm the fabled one that's always let you down,
the greatest escapist the world has ever known)
And I'll say I'm the fabled one that let you down,
(And they'll say I'm the emerald missing from your crown,
the greatest escapist the world has ever known)
The greatest escapist the world has ever known.
(And I'll say I'm the fabled one that let you down,
the greatest escapist the world has ever known)
It starts with an ending,
