Escape

If I ran away today would you hold me up?
If I knock on your door will you let me in?
If I sneak out tonight will you pick me up?
If I manage to escape will life begin?

I'm always wondering
What the outside world holds
I lie here dreaming
My life away

I've got to escape
My silence keeps him safe
More violence, more insane
I won't survive this evil game
It's in his brain
I make him feel this hate
And if he had his way
He'd be the reaper of my fate

I don't live here anymore, I live in my head
'Cause I cannot bear to face reality
Daydream about living, about being dead
Struggling to survive, there's no reprieve

I'm always wondering
Will I get to grow old?
I lie here dreaming
My life away

I've got to escape
My silence keeps him safe
More violence, more insane
I won't survive this evil game
It's in his brain
I make him feel this hate
And if he had his way
He'd be the reaper of my fate

(He's gonna end me)
(He's gonna end me)

And if I had a gun
I would point it at him
And pull the trigger
Oh if I had more luck
I wouldn't have that
Father figure
And if he had a heart
He would see that I'm just
A weeping child
And when I fall apart
He knows he's a winner
Just for a while

And then he says
"It's not my fault
It's not my fault
I'm a good man
It's not my fault
It's not my fault
She's to blame
It's not my fault"

I've got to escape
My silence keeps him safe
More violence, more insane
I won't survive this evil game
It's in his brain
I make him feel this hate
And if he had his way
He'd be the reaper of my fate

And if I had a gun
I would point it at him
And pull the trigger
Oh if I had more luck
I wouldn't have that
Father figure
And if he had a heart
He would see that I'm just
A weeping child
And when I fall apart
He knows he's a winner
Just for a while

(I've got to escape)
