Waking up from fantasy beyond the reach of men Trust me, I’m the only one who’ll help you back again Or help yourself to misery, just open up your eyes And take in all the tragic sights Which you can’t help but despise A lucky break that you can’t fake, so take the needle deep again. In loving care, you wouldn’t dare, so set ablaze the the now and then Reality is killing me, so let me give you all my pain! So much at stake, you can’t escape When all I’ve done has been in vain! I can't make it clear without you I don't know what I'm s'possed to do I've had my tragedy or two I can't escape here without you Defaced, erased, replaced, escape! Insane, the pain, the vein, escape Inside, defied, I lied, no trace Defaced, erased, replaced, escape! Ineffective everything, I've yet to find a cure I'm positive for anything, but now I'm not so sure Once upon a time I said my home is on the edge But now the razor's sharpened, and it's splitting hairs instead In it's own way, I've yet to pay, for all the sins that I've been through So dive right in, make my head spin, there's not much else that I can do Escape the fate or concentrate - it's not an easy choice, for sure But in this state, I love and hate, I'm not sure what's real anymore! I can't make it clear without you I don't know what I'm s'possed to do I'm had a tragedy or two I can't escape here without you Defaced, erased, replaced, escape! Insane, the pain, the vein, escape Inside, defied, I lied, no trace Defaced, erased, replaced, escape! Silently the winds will come Angels with the swords all drawn Slay the dragon, laid to rest We all tried our very best But the demons knew our game Beat the salt and holy rain Kept their tabs until we croaked Each of us some twisted joke So like cattle we can crawl All for one, but none for all Tunnel vision at our best Images we all detest But we'll fall again in time Sure as any rap or rhyme Watch the clock, we'll be there soon Some time in the afternoon (I can't escape here without you) Defaced, erased, replaced, escape! Insane, the pain, the vein, escape Inside, defied, I lied, no trace Defaced, erased, replaced, escape!
