Be My Escape - Relient K

I’ve given up on giving up slowly

I’m blending in so You won’t 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

Because I know to live you must give your life away

And 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 in knowing where to go,

Promise I’m going because

I gotta get outta here

I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake

I gotta get outta here

And I’m begging You,

I’m begging You,

I’m begging You to be my escape.

I’ve given up on doing this alone now

Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how

He’s told me the way and 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

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 in knowing where to go,

Promise I’m going because

I gotta get outta here

Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake

(Yeah)

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

Self detained 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

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 in knowing where to go,

Promise I’m going because

I’ve gotta get outta here

I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake

I’ve gotta get outta here

And I’m begging You,

I’m begging You,

I’m begging You to be my escape.

I fought You for so long

I should have let You in

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
