Testo: OneStarCity. Lion Fights In The Streets Of Hollywood. The Great Escape.

Escape seems easy from the outside looking in
you can't feel the isolation
i am here inside this cage i am trapped beneath my skin
constrained from all temptation,
please let me out! i can't argue with you, you have got the key
you're the answer i've been waiting for, you can set me free
this tourniquet gets tighter with every twist and turn of fate
if the bleeding stops to tomorrow, don't stop the clocks today

so let me go
but the waves keep churning as my dreams get washed ashore
so let me go
but the waves keep churning as my dreams get washed ashore

tear, tear, tear... a page from the book that you held me down with
a little lost, a little confused, little by little i'll flee this refuge
and your vulture grip, it grabs ahold when i start to slip
this canyon claims lives like a lost religion
another last chance to make a bad decision

so let me go i'm drowing in fear again
but the waves keep churning as your dreams get washed ashore
so let me go, let me go
but the waves keep churning as your dreams get washed ashore

it's the way we move
it's the way we move

right now and not a moment before
i'll uncover my eyes so i am blind no more
it's a motion that swift like a current on river
there's a rock on the bed, and a hand to deliver it
when it feels like this is the right time
my eyes draw a straight line, i pick up my weapon
my feet take a breath, and book it to death
a life in the dark is a life not living

and...

we just want to believe so bad
but it's the timing that counts
we just want to believe so bad
but it's the timing that counts
