Escape
By Lazarus Benson

Chorus X 2
They don't wanna see me win
But I made my escape
Not becoming this monster
They wanted me to be
Yeah
They don't wanna see me win
But I made my escape
Not becoming this monster
They wanted me to be
Yeah

Verse 1
In the echoes of my past where my shadows roam,
I carved my own path and found my way home.
Like a Phoenix, I rise from the depths deep.
In the silence of the night,
My dreams take the leap into the world with promises I'll keep.

With my father's shadow cast, life tasted far from sweet.
Navigating all these streets with a constant, rhythmic beat.
But my fire won't deplete.
'Cause in this world, I'll take my seat.

Chorus X 2
They don't wanna see me win
But I made my escape
Not becoming this monster
They wanted me to be
Yeah
They don't wanna see me win
But I made my escape
Not becoming this monster
They wanted me to be
Yeah


Verse 2
Bullied and belittled, I kept my self-esteem.
I faced the choices like a player in a high-stake scheme.
From the homeless nights to the dreams,
In poverty's steady seam, I built my life's scheme.

Rise up, I found strength in the gleam,
Every challenge that I've seen,
I'm ready to chase a dream.
Never needed a team.
I'll keep on going, no doubt,
Flowing like a river, 'cause you'll never burn me out.

Chorus X 2
They don't wanna see me win
But I made my escape
Not becoming this monster
They wanted me to be
Yeah
They don't wanna see me win
But I made my escape
Not becoming this monster
They wanted me to be
Yeah

Breakdown/ Bridge X6
Always kick me when i'm down
but i'm laughing at you now
Always kick me when i'm down
but i'm laughing at you now
Always kick me when i'm down
but i'm laughing at you now
Always kick me when i'm down
but i'm laughing at you now
Always kick me when i'm down
but i'm laughing at you now
Always kick me when i'm down
but i'm laughing at you now

Chorus X 2
They don't wanna see me win
But I made my escape
Not becoming this monster
They wanted me to be
Yeah
They don't wanna see me win
But I made my escape
Not becoming this monster
They wanted me to be
Yeah


Outro
Always kick me when i'm down
but i'm laughing at you now
Always kick me when i'm down
but i'm laughing at you now
Always kick me when i'm down
but i'm laughing at you now
Always kick me when i'm down
but i'm laughing at you now
Always kick me when i'm down
but i'm laughing at you now
Always kick me when i'm down
but i'm laughing at you now
