lyrics

Greatest Escape
V1
What can I say? but lately, I was burning the candle both ends, day after day like crazy, surrounded by fair-weather friends. Searching for rhyme and reason, in something outside of myself, taking the beatings over and over again.
Chorus
Sometimes I think of your kiss love, Sometimes I think of your smile, If everything’s better like this love, why is my conscience on trial?
How do we overcome distance when we were always so close? You were the greatest escape love that’s what I’m missing the most.
V2
Facing reality, naked and over exposed. Life is so bittersweet the truth is that nobody knows, if we’re awake or dreaming or caught by the web of time. Is life an illusion? Or just a trick of the mind.
Chorus
Bridge
I am not perfect nobody is. Each day I grow a little stronger than this
V3
Fearing myself getting older and knowing there’s so much to do. As I look over my shoulder, there’s a lingering shadow of you. It was an awkward journey, and I went the long way round. Today it was worth it all for this peace I have found.
Chorus & Outro
