Escape
● Muse Lyrics

You would say anything
You're willing to say whatever it takes to get what you want.

And you would try anything
You're willing to do whatever it takes to get what you want.

To escape your meaningless
You're trying to escape a life that feels worthless and lacks purpose.

And your insignificance
You feel small and unimportant.

You're uncontrollable
You're difficult to manage or regulate.

And we are unlovable
Others find it hard to love us.

And I don't want you to think that I care
I don't want you to think that I have any concern for you.

I never would, I never could again
I never have and never will care for you again.

Why can't you just love her?
Why can't you show love and compassion towards someone else?

Why be such a monster?
Why behave cruelly to others?

You burn me from a distance
You hurt me emotionally, even from far away.

Your brain needs some assistance
You need help and support for your mental well-being.

But I'll still take all the blame
I'm willing to accept responsibility, even if it's not my fault.

'Cause you and me are both one and the same
We're similar in many ways and share the same flaws.

And its driving me mad
It's making me feel crazy and overwhelmed.

I'll take back all the things that I said
I regret what I said and want to take it back.

I didn't realize I was talking to the living dead
I didn't realize I was wasting my breath on someone who was emotionally dead inside.

And I don't want you to think that I care
I have no desire to show you any empathy or sympathy.

I never would, I never could again
I have no capacity to care for you again.
