Be My Escape Lyrics By Relient K

    ive given up on giving up slowly
    im blending in so you wont even know me
    apart from this whole world that shares my fate
    this one last bullet you mention
    is my one last shot at redemption
    ’cause i know to live you must give your life away

    pre
    and ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity
    and ive been locked inside that house
    all the while you hold the key
    and ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
    and even though theres no way of knowing where to go
    i promise im going because

    ooh i gotta get outta here
    i’m stuck inside this rut that i fell into by mistake
    ooh i gotta get outta here
    and i’m begging you i’m begging you
    im begging you to be my escape

    i’m given up on doing this alone now
    ’cause i’ve failed and im ready to be shown how
    you’ve told me the way and now i’m trying to get there
    and this life sentence that i’m serving
    i admit that i’m every bit deserving
    but the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

    pre
    ’cause i’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
    and i’ve been locked inside that house
    all the while you hold the key
    and i’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
    and even though there’s no way of knowing where to go
    promise i’m going because

    ooh i gotta get outta here
    ’cause i’m afraid that this complacency is something i can’t shake yeah
    ooh i gotta get outta here
    and i’m begging you i’m begging you
    i’m begging you to be my escape

    i am a hostage to my own humanity
    selfdetained and forced to live in this mess i’ve made
    and all i’m asking is for you to do what you can with me
    but i can’t ask you to give what you already gave

    pre
    ’cause i’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
    and ive been locked inside that house
    all the while you hold the key
    and i’ve been dying to get out that might be the death of me
    and even though theres no way of knowing where to go
    i promise im going because

    ooh i gotta get outta here
    i’m stuck inside this rut that i fell into by mistake
    ooh i gotta get outta here
    and i’m begging you i’m begging you
    im begging you to be my escape

    i fought you for so long i should have let you win
    oh how we regret those things we do
    and all i was trying to do was save my own skin oh
    but so were you
    so were you
