"Escapism" Lyrics

Look, look at you
You don't see what I do
Your eyes turn to wise
Turn to something borrowed and blue
Yes, it is true, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose
But don't think it's done when it hurts
'cause the body's so easily bruised.

Stuck in a motel,
Creeping by yourself
Reaching for something in the dark
You will keep going higher to fuel the desire
To feel something pounding in your heart.

[Chorus:]
Uh uh uh uh uhh
Uh uh uh uh uhhh
Escapism, is another prison
'Round the corner is another paradise
Escapism is another prison
And you're always looking for a place to hide
You're always looking for a place to hide.

Look, look at me
I don't know what you see
I'd lie if I could and make everything easy
I'd say I feel safe, I feel blessed, I feel fine
I don't think it's done when it hurts, but I'm down in the dirt sometimes.

Put on a good dress, and go do the dishes,
Dream of a life where I'm a star
I will keep going higher the fuel the desire
To feel something pounding in my heart.

[Chorus:]
Uh uh uh uh uhh
Uh uh uh uh uhhh
Escapism is another prison
'Round the corner is another paradise
Escapism is another prison
And you're always looking for a place to hide
I'm always looking for a place to hide.

Run!

Uh uh uh uh uhh uh uh uh..

Ahh ah ah ah
