Escape Plan
Manga Saint Hilare Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A lot of my exes look the same
i kept making the same mistake
i used to sit down waiting for things to change
but things never changed
because i never changed
i was in the smallest room in my mums house
looking for space
I'd just stare into space
i think i need to escape
the feeling that i'm going to get stuck here wouldn't go away
i had a lot of dar energy around me that i couldn't explain
i didn't want to be saved,
i woke up late
i didn't know myself,Only knew my name
they seem to think tat they know my heart
just because they all know my face
i had no foresight, i had no faith
i had no focus,I had no way
to get out all these things that i was thinking
i was struggling to find my way
ending my texts with,Cool & safe
but i never felt cool or safe
questions all the calls i made
my purpose needs to get reclaimed
i just want some peace in my head
pieces of me started feeling strange
i felt like nobody else has felt like this
i became a person i hate
so i'm laying here awake
getting money & i'm pissing it away
some days that i wish i wouldn't wake
what's it gonna take
feel like i'm living on the edge
got thoughts that i know i shouldn't say
its happening again
sitting here & feeling so alone
in reality it never was the case
i'm digging my own grave
really i'm just troubling myself
been battling with my own brain
i felt like i died, at least one or two times
old versions of me that i don't recognise
i watch day turn to night
i know im the cause of my own demise
i don't take my own advice
watch things get worse so its no surprise
sat & i smiles when im supposed to cry
i need to make it out alive
things wasn't going right's so i wrote
i set a few goals & let go of my ego
worked for the ting, There wasn't a cheat code
me against the world i'm giving out free smoke
oh
i started seeing the results
different type of bruddah i started t evolve
new energy new me
i started all again like i'm getting a reload
things are going to be what they will be
finally got back to the real me
had so much baggage on my back
but i dropped them bags like a spent a few g's
devil in my head i couldn't let it kill me




madness in my head so i couldnt feel free
i'm rich in spirit & soul
