You wouldn't believe how long it's been since I've been satisfied
I've been in this hole for oh so long, I take this rut in stride
Now I've got no excuses left except for I never tried
A couple of desperate losers took each other for a ride

We were escaping
from the lives that we were destined to lead
Escaping
but I don't think we'll ever be free

You wouldn't believe how far I've come to reach this nowhereland
Been back and forth so many times, I'm stuck in the deep quicksand
Remember how we used to run? yeah now we can barely stand
I guess I can finally say that things didn't turn out like we planned

We were escaping
from the world where we didn't want to succeed
Escaping
but not to where we wanted to be

Wish that we could turn the page
but all the pages stuck
Long ago we had our day
but now most days just suck

solo

We were escaping
but we never got to take a deep breath
Escaping
We haven't reached our sanctum just yet

We struggled hard to get away from the sorry lives we led
Our souls were in the shadows but our appetites were fed
Let's face it, if we hadn't met, we might as well be dead
yeah you could say we got a heart, but we didn't get ahead

We were escaping
Sure we listened but we never took heed
Escaping
Alas, where can our hideaway be?
