Escape
3LAU & Paris & Simo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's not time for fate, there's just us.
And all that we create turns to dust.
So what you gonna leave behind.
Show me what you keep locked inside.
You got to free your mind.
Free your mind, free your mind.
There's no better place here and now.
We can lose our way and still be found.
So what you gonna leave behind.
Show me what you keep locked inside.
You got to free your mind.
Free your mind, you got to free your mind.




Free your Free your
Free your Free your mind.
