Tangled in the Great Escape Songtext
von Pierce the Veil feat. Jason Butler

Well, don′t you say I had a part of it
Guess we'll never know
Or would you say that I had a part of it?
Well, I guess we′ll never know

Constant recovery
I see you choke and it takes my breath away
But all is good, we close our eyes

They all accept the lie
So bury what you are, bury what you are outside
Brother, promise you won't leave me

I know you're tortured within
And your eyes look hungry again
But I′ll never wander, my friend

Will somebody believe this is suicide?
Am I the only one that thinks that you should stay alive?
Oh, I became the shame that you backed up on the ropes
To arm yourself and hide


And so I scream, "Mayday, I′m in trouble
Send somebody on the double"
Scratching at the floor inside my mind

They all accept the lie
So bury what you are, bury what you are outside
Brother, please don't be afraid of me

I know you′re tortured within
And your eyes look hungry again
But I'll never wander, my friend

I let you down and I started to run
Never meant to be your pain
What have I become?
Show me and show me the way back
Show me the way back home

I know you′re tortured within
Your eyes look hungry again
But I'll never wander, my friend
No, I′ll never wander again


But it's now what I need
This is not what I want
But it's now what I need
This is not what I want
But it′s now what I need
This is not what I want
But it′s now what I need
This is not what I want

But now it's what I need

Can I just have one more taste?
Just to make it through the day
You′re tangled in
You're tangled in the great escape

Can I just have one more taste?
The great escape, oh
I never meant to hurt nobody, no, no, yeah
I never meant to hurt you, no, no, no, no, eh
I only meant to do this to myself
To myself, to myself
Great escape, great escape, great escape
Oh, it′s the greatest escape
Let me out of this, yeah, let me out of this, yeah
Let me out of this, yeah
