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!
