For Those Broken - The Escapist Lyrics

Dreams are all but shattered
But what could be worse
Doomed to a life in fetters
Filled with the same remorse

I know what they all say
I can't beat my demons by running away
But day after day I continue to take
Until the day comes and reality breaks

Cold along the surface
But my heart stays warm
Doing what I know best to run away
To escape the storm

I've never known vitality
Hold out for something, delaying the fall
This isn't my reality
A soul that wanders, lost within us all

In a world that's burning around me
I need a way, I need a way out
So Disconnected, they'll never find me awake
Nothing can take my escape

Suffering the only truth
Pain the only answer
When the music begins
You must be the dancer
Am I to blame
Are they not the same
Is the freedom real
Is the prison fake
Beyond that mess my mind can rest
So take me away

Escape, escape
Escape the hell I can't erase
My truth, denied
A place to hide they'll never find
Escape, escape
Escape the hell I can't erase
My truth, I know
I stay the same and my demons grow

I've never known vitality
Hold out for something, delaying the fall
This isn't my reality
A soul that wanders, lost within us all

In a world that's burning around me
I need a way, I need a way out
So Disconnected, they'll never find me awake
Nothing can take my escape
