Cosmic Light Horizon - Nobody Gets Away Lyrics

I remember back in high school
We were sitting together under the banners of green and white
We only believed the things we told ourselves
Never asking what it meant
I never needed anything
I never tried too hard so I could hold it up and shield myself
In a moment we went from fifteen to twenty
Hundreds of miles away from something we thought that we could never escape
But I never saw the bigger picture till' it sold me out
Never knew the nature of the world till' it held me down

You don't know the life that we left
The reasons we fled
The people we took from
You don't know the looks that I get
The weight on my chest
Nobody gets away

Never doubt the words we don't keep
The nights we don't sleep
The people we gave up
And I don't know how many chances I'll get
But I'm god damned sure
Nobody gets away

Flash forward ten years and I don't know you
I tell all the stories over
But as we're both getting older I have nothing to show
Except the pictures that I found
In the basement of the house that I grew up in
I remember when I almost threw them out
So even if we got to live it again somehow
Do you think we'd end up in the places that we are now
It doesn't matter that I got this far
'Cause I got so far, but I did it without you

You don't know the life that we left
The reasons we fled
The people we took from
You don't know the looks that I get
The weight on my chest
Nobody gets away

Never doubt the words we don't keep
The nights we don't sleep
The people we gave up
And I don't know how many chances I'll get
But I'm god damned sure
Nobody gets away
