I Have To Escape

(album: The Chosen - 2022)

Pieces of me were scattered on the floor
Like shards of glass cutting deeper than ever before
On my hands and knees begging for relief
I have to believe there's more to life than suffering

Drained of my life essence
No hope for convalescence
I have to find the strength to escape obsolescence

I have to escape this place
I have to escape

Why was I even born?
To live a life of scorn?
I will honor the oath that I have sworn
I promised myself that I would face hell
If that was the only way out

There's no escaping this
I have to face my demons
There's no escaping this
I have to face my demons

Drained of my life essence
No hope for convalescence
I have to find the strength to escape obsolescence

I have to escape this place
I have to escape
Escape, escape, escape
I have to escape this place
Escape, escape, escape
I have to escape this place

No longer will I run from my demons
I will look them in the eyes and beat them
