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’m giving 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
|
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
|
But so were You
|
|
So were You
|
|

Be My Escape
