Well don't you say that I had a part of it.
Guess we'll never know.

Or would you say that I had a part of it?
Well, I guess we'll never know.

Constant recovery.
I see you choke and it takes my breath away.
But all is good, we close our eyes.
They all accept the lie.
So bury what you are outside.
Brother, promise you won't leave me.

I know you're tortured within,
And your eyes look hungry again.

But I'll never wander my friend.

Will somebody believe this suicide?

Am I the only one that thinks that you should stay alive?
I became the shame that you backed up on the ropes
To arm yourself and hide.

And so I scream, “Mayday, I'm in trouble!
Send somebody on the double!“
Scratching at the floor inside my mind.
They all accept the lie.
So bury what you are outside.

Brother, please don't be afraid of me.

I know you're tortured within,
And your eyes look hungry again.
But I'll never wander my friend.

I let you down and I started to run.
Never meant to be your pain.
Oh my God, what have I become?
Show me and show me the way back.
Show me the way back home.

I know you're tortured within,
And your eyes look hungry again.
But I'll never wander my friend.
No I'll never wander again.

This is not what I want,
But now it's what I need.

Can I just have one more taste
Just to make it through the day...
You're tangled in the great escape.

The great escape.

I never meant to hurt nobody...

I never meant to hurt you, no no no.
I only meant to do this to myself.
To myself, to myself...
The great escape...
Let me out of this.
