Lyrics Escape Artists - Rise Against

Escape Artists

Undercover of the dark night
Avoid the clattered street lights
And disappear at dawn
Camouflage ourselves to get by
Hiding here in plain sight
Waiting for a sign to come
It’s the lottery of life
We all play to just get by
But some of us escaped
And found a better way, a better life
The ones that got away now
Drifted from the herd
Slip through the fingers of your world
The ones that got away now
Never to return
We left your world, to build our own
And off the grid we’re building
Able but unwilling
To bow to this design
There is a light, there is a way out
Safe before we all drown
The boundaries have been redefined
We are products of a place
But our ties have been erased
A wilderness awaits
And lost is something we’ve been trying to find
The ones that got away now
Drifted from the herd
Slip through the fingers of your world
The ones that got away now
Never to return
We left your world, to build our own
Gave up our place
In line to run so far away
To break free from
This endless race is never won
This endless pace we can’t outrun
The blade spinning closer
We’ll keep our composure
We are the ones that got away now
Drifting from the herd
We are the ones that got away now
Never to return
And from your clutches we’re escaping
Yeah from your grip, we are breaking free
We got away (ones that got away)
Yeah!
Got away (ones that got away)
We got away (ones that got away)
Yeah!
