No Escape

The other night I went walking
A steady pace like I was looking for something
Wandering streets in the town I grew up in
On the hunt, came up with nothing

There's no escape
There's no escape
I'm not running from anything

Not to free or to forget
I don't want to fill the space inside my head
Not to free or to forget
I'm not running

I fell asleep mid-sentence
Pen in my hand, my faithful attendance
Light dancing down the hallway walls
Like Kubrick playing late night that early Fall

There's no escape
There's no escape
I'm not running from anything

Not to free or to forget
I don't want to fill the space inside my head
Not to free or to forget
I'm not running

August, my dear
You'll surely find when you're older
Not all the stories were true
Some they cooked, and they sold you
My arms will be forever open wide to hold you
And together we can

Love the ugly truth
Take it for what it is
Take no issue
We can love the ugly truth
No stories to tell
Take no issue

Not to free or to forget
There's no escape
There's no escape
Not to free or to forget
There's no escape
There's no escape
