Be My Escape
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve given up, Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m giving up slowly, Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m blending in so
You wonâ"š¬â"ž¢t even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last call that You mentioned is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s no way in knowing where to go, promise Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m going because
I gotta get outta here
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m begging You, Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m begging You, Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m begging You to be my escape.
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m giving up Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m doing this alone now
Cause Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve failed and Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m ready to be shown how
Heâ"š¬â"ž¢s told me the way and Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m trying to get there
And this life sentence that Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m serving
I admit that Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
Cause Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s no way in knowing where to go, promise Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m afraid that this complacency is something I canâ"š¬â"ž¢t shake
I gotta get outta here
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m begging You, Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m begging You, Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m begging You to be my escape.
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve made
And all Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I canâ"š¬â"ž¢t ask You to give what You already gave
Cause Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s no way in knowing where to go, promise Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m going because
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve gotta get outta here
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve gotta get outta here
And Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m begging You, Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m begging You, Iâ"š¬â"ž¢m begging
You to be my escape.
I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You
So were You
