Sometimes it's important to admit hiding behind illusions and feeling discouraged in the past. There's a lot of fear in losing my identity but I can't escape the responsibility to face.
lyrics
Chorus:
If I could turn back the clock
For the moment I forgot
Will my mistakes tell me
If I can escape
Can I escape?
Verse:
Is my life is an illusion
I fake a smile that comes
In and out
Is my personality a delusion
Of everyone I came across
That was better than me
I know they could see through
I could be a wannabe, for all you know
Every misstep I can make
May leave me a disgrace
Chorus 2:
If I could turn back the clock
For the moment I forgot
Will my mistakes tell me
If I can escape
Can I escape?
Can I escape?
Can I escape?
I can’t vanish
The impressions people
Fall onto me
Without a trace
I cannot lose my identity
I’m not a creep
Yea, I’m a weirdo
What the hell am I singing here?
Damn right I belong here
Damn I belong here
(Breakdown)
(Chorus 2)
Can I escape?
Can I escape?
Can I escape?
Can I
Can I
Can I
Escape
Can I
Can I
Can I
Escape
Escape
Verse:
It’s funny how withdrawing
Changes the situation, I got no
Emancipation you’re in
Complications, being a man
Of this generation
Miscommunication occurring often
I never took precaution stepping out
From Boston, changing from boyz to men
No one ever thought this shit would be real
Living life on a numb feel with responsibility
That’s average and it ain’t enough
For me, cause I want more than I bargain for
Paying my expenses, I’m not paid in full with what’s due
To get distracted by all the ways my heart’s been impacted
I see a crack in my armor, just gotta fill the void in
With virtual fantasies, my worst enemy
Need to drink this truth with a chaser
That’s hard 200 proof you’re gonna savior
I only want one favor
Ad-libs:
One favor
I got to escape
And I got to escape
Can I can I
Escapee
Outro:
Can I escape?
C-c-can I escape?
C-c-can I escape?
C-c-can I escape?
C-c-can I escape?
