I've ran away too far, too long
Trying to be rid of thoughts and pains
That build me up, that drag me down
That crash the waves upon my feet
But now I see there's no escape
I really need to come to grips
With the idea that one cannot destroy his sense of right and wrong

Thoughts have trapped me like a prison
Take a look and come inside
I've got an interesting notion
One I can't just cast aside
I promise you I will escape (I will escape)
I guarantee that this whole life is but a dream
I'm trapped inside; I must break free
I'm getting out of here whatever it takes

Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go!

There's many things I haven't done
But I only fear the ones I have
I hit and run, I aim to please
I just disgust my conscience any way I can
But now I see the open door
With the light coming through
It speaks (to me, to you, to us)
We can't dodge these inevitable truths

Thoughts have trapped me like a prison
Take a look and come inside
I've got an interesting notion
One I can't just cast aside
I promise you I will escape (I will escape)
I guarantee that this whole life is but a dream
I'm trapped inside; I must break free
I'm getting out of here whatever it takes

It's like the hardest part of breaking free is convincing myself that it'll be alright
Fall dependent on better things in life
And I won't let go this time - I'm breaking free, coming clean

I promise you I will escape (I will escape)
I guarantee that this whole life is but a dream
I'm trapped inside; I must break free
I'm getting out of here whatever it takes
