On a cold November night I stumbled out the door And I looked into your eyes That's when I realized That everything was going to change today
Chorus: I can't escape this place I've made The world cannot afford the things that I adore
And even as I try I still cannot escape The feelings that I hide They're running after me And it's driving me away
And if you run, you run so fast you'll fly I'm running from the fears That push me half insane
By Jacob McGinnis and Matt Warren
Song Description: "'Escape' was originally played with a full band. The drums, bass, lead guitar and piano were great, but we felt like they stole the spotlight from the heart of the song. We knew the soul of the song was strong enough to carry it, even if the music was simplified. What ensued was an intimate vocal that is perhaps perfectly vulnerable." - Jacob McGinnis (The Turning)
