Escape Artist
Richard Schmidt
Rip my eyes from my head
Bury them way underground
I’m tired of seeing all the ugly things all around
I need a ride to take a break
I need a crash course, someone to take me and make
An escape
An escape
Escape artist
Take me away
I like when the seasons change
I like when the flowers bloom
I think that progress is pretty goddamn cool
I like to kick, I like to scream
I like to stand up, sometimes I just need to be
An escape
An escape
Escape artist
Take me away
Some things are finally changing
Like we’ve been waiting our whole lives
I’m tired of having conversations with a force field brick wall mind
While it's probably necessary, my sanity might just take flight
If I don't step away tonight and try to just unwind
