Escape (Abandoned demo) Songtext
von Seeming

This is a step against forgetting
This is a word against the gentle voice of sleep
That sings to kill so easily
I want to wake the rusty clockwork
I′ll pick the clenching lock that swallowed its own key
And the caves will laugh, and the clouds will see
You break in two, the ground beneath my towering fear
That sometimes things really do just disappear

You are the shackles gone tarnished
You are at last the unharnessed
You're an escape artist
You′re an escape
You find the world that's lost to me
You rise in reciprocity
This is escape velocity
This is escape


And when I step into the daylight
The sun is crying at the funeral performed
In memory of the night before
And if I drink away a brain cell
There's one less unexpected rhyme I might reveal
A dimming of the empyreal, but if a Bronze Age hunter freezes in the ice
Is it too much to ask to live twice?
If our broadcast waves bounce off of Andromeda and back
I know in you the signal stays intact

You are the shackles gone tarnished
You are at last the unharnessed
You′re an escape artist
You′re an escape
You find the world that's lost to me
You rise in reciprocity
This is escape velocity
This is escape!

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey


Every book at Alexandria each
Tiger of Tasmania
The love in leper colonies
The dreams that fly away from me
And every last of every tribe each
Language known by none alive
The paintings burned in World War II
They all escape oblivion in you

All the shackles gone tarnished
You are at last the unharnessed
You′re an escape artist
You're an escape
You find the world that′s lost to me
You rise in reciprocity
This is escape velocity
This is escape!

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey-hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey-hey!
