[Verse 1]
Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look
The system's in control, it's all ran by the book
I've got to get away so I can clear my mind
Escape is what I need, away from electric eyes

No matter where I am, I see my face around
They then ask on my name, and push from town to town
Don't have a place to run, but there's no need to hide
I've got to, find a place, so I won't hide away

[Chorus]
Escape
Got to get away from a system
Lose in the world today
Escape
The pressure that I face from relationships
Got to go away
Escape
The man with the pen
That writes the lies that hassle this man
Escape
I do what I want to cause
I got to face nobody but me

[Verse 2]
I tried to share my life with someone I could love
But games and money is all she ever thought of
How could that be my fault when she gambled and lost?
I'm tired of silly games, it's time to make a change

Why is it I can't do whatever I want to?
Went in my personal life and I don't live for you
So don't you try to tell me what is right for me
You be concerned about you, I can do what I want to

[Chorus x2]
Escape
Got to get away from a system
Lose in the world today
Escape
The pressure that I face from relationships
Got to go away
Escape
The man with the pen
That writes the lies that hassle this man
Escape
I do what I want to cause
I got to face nobody but me

[Bridge]
When I go
This problem world won't bother
Me no more

[Chorus x3]
Escape
Got to get away from a system
Lose in the world today
Escape
The pressure that I face from relationships
Got to go away
Escape
The man with the pen
That writes the lies that hassle this man
Escape
I do what I want to cause
I got to face nobody but me
