Be My Escape
I’ve given up on giving up slowly
I’m blending in so You won’t even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention
It’s my one last shot at redemption
Cause I know to live you must give your life away
And I’ve been housing all this doubt
and insecurity
And I’ve been locked inside that house
All the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though there’s no way of knowing
Where to go
I promise I’m going because…
I gotta get out of here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get out of here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You
I’m begging You to be my escape
I’ve given up on doing this alone now
Guess I failed and I’m ready to be shown out
You told me the way and now I’m trying to get there
And this life sentence that I’m serving
I admit that I’m every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
I gotta get out of here
Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake
I gotta get out of here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You,
I’m begging You to be my escape
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made
And all I’m asking is for You to do what you can with me
But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave.
Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt
and insecurity
And I’ve been locked inside that house
All the while you hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out
That might be the death of me
And even though there’s no way of knowing
Where to go
I promise I’m going because…
I gotta get out of here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get out of here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You,
I’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
I’m blending in so You won’t even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention
It’s my one last shot at redemption
Cause I know to live you must give your life away
And I’ve been housing all this doubt
and insecurity
And I’ve been locked inside that house
All the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though there’s no way of knowing
Where to go
I promise I’m going because…
I gotta get out of here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get out of here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You
I’m begging You to be my escape
I’ve given up on doing this alone now
Guess I failed and I’m ready to be shown out
You told me the way and now I’m trying to get there

hey look natz!! i'm posting on here and you're sitting RIGHT next to me!! i loved your lyrics! i also had a great time @ panera and talking w/ you and kaits. "why don't you kiss my shoe??" good stuff!! i love you dear!!
I also had a great time at Cafe Paradiso critiquing Ray's book report while sitting in a chair that was one foot high.
My last final at the UofI is tonight. I feel good.
Nat, that's copyright infringement, you need to use MLA documentation. Right... but nice post, excellent lyrics indeed.
It's not copyright infringement, because it's not the whole song. I took one of the chorus repeats out. So... it's ok. I think.
But to make you happy, it's Relient K's "Be My Escape" from their 2004 cd, Mmhmm.
Yeah, that'll fly with the college prof! See ya in prison (I'll just be visiting of course).
Promise to bring me cookies? With a nail file in them?
Love the tune personally. Isn't it amazing that even though we aren't worthy to be the mud on God's shoes he loves us to infinity....and beyond
anything for you nat:) and I do appreciate the song, great message indeed!
Joel- Yes, amazing. And yes, good tune indeed.
Justin- Thanks! Chocolate chip are my favorite.
Nat, I just wanted to say, you update your blog WAAAAAAAYYYY to much. We hardly have time to read what you put before another post pops up! Check my post, it's kinda like one of the books you gave me, but not that book.
