Escape
On the run from the truth
Only time I face it is when I'm in the booth
Please distract me with the trees gin and juice
Tryna outrun my past but she fast and I lose
She haunts me, I need a shot of patron
Handcuffs me, it's like she on a patrol
Set me free, I can't escape I'm alone
Only company is my thoughts and my wrongs, oh
I can't escape you, I can't escape you
Want you to set me free please, oh
Want to replace you, want to replace you
With better memories please, oh
I can't escape you, I can't escape you
Want you to set me free please, oh
Want to replace you, want to replace you
With better memories please, oh
Can I keep it real?
I just gotta ask I know this stuff gon appeal
To the masses what's happenin is I'm tryna appeal
To this sentence I'm facing goin through trials, tribulations
I'm a victim to my own demons
And I'm addicted to my vices for the wrong reasons
Pain is pleasure and pleasure makes you vulnerable to pain
We use them interchangeably but they not the same
I used to be a certain a way
And I'm afraid deep down that I never changed
Kneel down pray to maintain these better days
But I have these triggers, one time is all it takes
And it figures she loves to see me go astray
So I could feed her with sex, drugs, a little hate
And she don't like me progressing or sitting down and reflecting
Cause she's my main competition
Just waiting to catch me slipping and
What am I supposed to do
I could never win unless I conquer you
But you're a part of me how can I not be you
Guess I'd rather live a lie cause this can't be true
You occupy my heart and mind I can't destroy the proof
And I see temptation is your favorite noose
But I'm hanging in there with my foot on the stool
Knowing she the only one who could cut me loose
I said I'm
On the run from the truth
Only time I face it is when I'm in the booth
Please distract me with the trees gin and juice
Tryna outrun my past but she fast and I lose
She haunts me, I need a shot of patron
Handcuffs me, it's like she on a patrol
Set me free, I can't escape I'm alone
Only company is my thoughts and my wrongs
Dear God, in my mind's eye
I see no defeat
In prayer I find peace, I plead
Keep me, in your graces
I know I stand in my own way, with my fears
Of going back to my old ways but I'm fierce
Stronger with your love
Won't fall I won't budge
Been down but I came up
Switchin up the pace love, mergin from the fast lane
Death is not a race love, why you tryna gas me
Capable of doing better but you put it past me
Only cause you don't know better caught up in the past, b
On the run from the truth
Only time I face it is when I'm in the booth
Please distract me with the trees gin and juice
Tryna outrun my past but she fast and I lose
She haunts me, I need a shot of patron
Handcuffs me, it's like she on a patrol
Set me free I can't escape I'm alone
Only company is my thoughts and my wrongs, oh
I can't escape you, I can't escape you
Want you to set me free please, oh
Want to replace you, want to replace you
With better memories please, oh
I can't escape you, I can't escape you
Want you to set me free please, oh
Want to replace you, want to replace you
With better memories please, oh
Only time I face it is when I'm in the booth
Please distract me with the trees gin and juice
Tryna outrun my past but she fast and I lose
She haunts me, I need a shot of patron
Handcuffs me, it's like she on a patrol
Set me free, I can't escape I'm alone
Only company is my thoughts and my wrongs, oh
I can't escape you, I can't escape you
Want you to set me free please, oh
Want to replace you, want to replace you
With better memories please, oh
I can't escape you, I can't escape you
Want you to set me free please, oh
Want to replace you, want to replace you
