The Great Escape

I dug a hole and it's cavernous
Then my lantern went out, since then I've been in the dark
But you're a sight to see even though I can't
I'm exaggerating, I've been reading too much Lovecraft

I wrote down this song and it's illegible
My handwriting's bad, my notebook's falling apart
And I can't remember a single word of it
So if this is no good, trust me that it once was

My dream's in tatters
It's the only thing that matters
Apart from you
So let's keep looking up, keep digging up
I'll find my way
The great escape
The great escape

I've lost my sense of direction
Wish a creature would pull me into the abyss
At least then I'd be going somewhere
But there's too much outside that I am going to miss

All my friends are listening to this as a favour
That's okay, hope you like it, am I sounding sincere
Imagine I got the attention of a stranger
And they're listening because this is what they want to hear

My dream's in tatters
It's the only thing that matters
Apart from you
So let's keep looking up, keep digging up
I'll find my way
The great escape
The great escape

My dream's in tatters
It's the only thing that matters
Apart from you
So let's keep looking up, keep digging up
I'll find my way
The great escape
The great escape

I'll find my way
