The Escape (Jurisdiction)

She's always known that she can't make it out alive
But she tries
And she bleeds
She claws her way back to the surface of her mind
And she cries
And she screams

Nightmare scapes where there was day
Darkness speaks what words can't say
For these thoughts she'll have to pay
Until this darkness fades away

You should know
That she won't
Escape from the place
Without a trace
Oh no no no

It's fiery inside her mind
As she attempts to climb to heights
She never thought she'd see
Yes, she's fighting off the demons
Left and right and up and down
She will throw them to the ground
Taking power over thoughts
That she has battled and she's fought
She deserves to win the prize
Yes, it's dark inside her mind
But the trophy at the peak
Will make this place half as bleak
With broken bones and shattered teeth
And the glass beneath her feet
She'll still have demons in her brain
And she will still be half insane
But she will know that she has triumphed
Over every single fear
And she will know she's found asylum in the space between her ears
She'll extinguish all the fire or at least it won't appear
Until she realizes that it's been another year

You should know
That she won't
Escape from the place
Without a trace
Oh no
You should know
That she won't
Escape from this place
Without a trace
Oh no no no

The desolate mind she left behind
Is never to be seen
Her fragile brain will still remain
Even in her haunted dreams

Her mind is a chasm
Whose depths she can't fathom
Until she descends to the floor
For once she achieves this
She's granted the key which
Allows her to unlock the door

And she steps
She steps through
The best
The best she can do

It's the best she can do
The best she can do
It's the best she can do
The best she can do

It's the best she can do
The best she can do
It's the best she can do
THE BEST SHE CAN DO
