Escape

Oh yea-ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
SQB
I'm just trying to get away
I'm not feeling it today
Don't think there's much more I can take
Oh my Lord I need a break

I'd much rather make a meal, play a game or write some music
Maybe catch up on Netflix
Maybe I'll over-do it
Watch a marathon on YouTube
It's not with it buddy, it's useless
Why not do something constructive?
How 'bout chill out 'fore I loose it
How 'bout cool it
How 'bout understand today's just not the day
Not really feeling my job, but I have bills I got to pay
I'm not really feeling this season
Do you wanna know the real reason
Why I'm zoning out well then peep it
I'll put that on display
I got to say

This is my escape I just had to get away
I've been focused on tomorrow's problems today
I keep running, they keep coming with no delay
Satan trying me, I'm telling him not today
But my mind puts all my mistakes on replay
Where did I go wrong?
I'm falling in the fray
On my Super Man 'til kryptonite has its way
I need help Lord, nothing more I can say

I can hear my bride talking
(Hold up babe are you OK)
I can feel my bride stalking
I drown her out but then I drown into a sea of media
Need Expedia seemingly
I've been tripping so what is this about?
Am I missing out?
'Cus I go to IG and see people flexin' (See people flex)
I get mad at their blessing
Never see struggle, just see their progression
And this is a total confession (Wooh)
The longer I'm on I realize that I become vexed
And might end up stressing
Oh my God I just picked up an obsession
See I've been watching others' highlight reels
Yeah I'm obsessed
And that's why I'm always inside my feels (Yeah)
Yeah I'm depressed
I've been playing Chess, some Russian Roulette, placing bets
For control of my mind, but lately failing every test
Dang!
I'd love to tell you I stay encouraged like everyday, but no
I'd love to tell you I stay the course and I never stray
But oh how wrong would I be
Worldview shifting like Kyrie
But I wonder if that time if I flatline
Would the Lord still work inside me?
I don't know

This is my escape I just had to get away
I've been focused on tomorrow's problems today
I keep running, they keep coming with no delay
Satan trying me, I'm telling him not today
But my mind puts all my mistakes on replay
Where did I go wrong?
I'm falling in the fray
On my Super Man 'til kryptonite has its way
I need help Lord, nothing more I can say

I wrote this during a hurricane watch
We were prepping with urgency
Ironically, as of late
I've been in the Cone of Uncertainty
Struggling with my faith
Look at me in the face and say you're doing too much
There's no need for worrying
Wow!
I appreciate your kind words, they're so encouraging
Matter of fact, no!
I won't even lie to you I've been angry
Noted I've be moody, but can you blame me?
Everything that I've been through, it done changed me
But I know it's my fault I've been choosing
Everything I wanna do, but I'm losing
Focus and my zeal for what the Lord's doing
Kinda get the feel that I'm not improving either
I'm a believer in need of help with my unbelief (Unbelief)
Some days I'm hopeful, some days I'm not
A recurring theme (Recurring theme)
Some days it's a lot
But I'm not turning back for a thing (Not for a thing)
'Cus I know Jesus is still worth giving up all of me (Yeah, yeah)
All my questions won't be answered now
I'm finally coming to grips with that
My trust in God's been up and down
I'm finally going to admit to that
But there's no way that I could live
Without trusting the one who would die for sin-filled
People, and then He would rise again
And still have grace with the state that my mind is in
Right now (Right now)

This is my escape I just had to get away
I've been focused on tomorrow's problems today
I keep running, they keep coming with no delay
Satan trying me, I'm telling him not today
But my mind puts all my mistakes on replay
Where did I go wrong?
I'm falling in the fray
On my Super Man 'til kryptonite has its way
I need help Lord, nothing more I can say

Nothing more I can say
Nothing more I can say
Nothing more I can say
Nothing more I can say
Nothing more I can say
Nothing more I can say
