Lyrics Escape Velocity - Rhett Miller, Black Prairie

Escape Velocity

I never achieve
I never achieve escape velocity
I never break free
No matter how hard I try
The world is full of people
All these needy people
Crushin' me inside
Tryin' to make my own way
I wind up back here lonely
Wish I never tried
I don’t need you to tell me I’m a sorry guy
Especially when you’re the reason why
I never achieve
I never achieve escape velocity
I never break free
No matter how hard I try
My head is filled with noises
Made and unmade choices
Burnin' up my brain
I try to fill my hollow
My pride’s too big to swallow
Drivin' me insane
I don’t need your pity or your promises
Especially when I know you won’t say «yes»
I love you anyway
I love much more than I care to say
I love anyway
I love much more than I care to say
I never achieve
I never achieve escape velocity
I never break free
No matter how hard I try
I never achieve
I never achieve escape velocity
I never break free
No matter how hard I try
