TipToes - My Escape Lyrics

The older I grow the more that I find
That no one controls your glorified life
I'm rocking my boat, I'm pouring my time
Up in the studio recording my mind
Cos before when I die I wanna look back
I wanna be proud of the impact I left behind
See that I inspired some people to start the climb
If it's just a couple people it's worth it within my eyes
I emerge when the curtains draw, sure I'm a work in progress
But Imma search for purpose, Imma earn a spot
Learned how to curve the ball, turned to a workaholic
I'll finish first but first I'll cut the serpents off
Cos I been thinking that I oughta cop a lawnmower
Don't think you're gonna get ahead cos I go far over
I gotta be there for myself cos when I fall over
People take advantage of me, I ain't gon' be walked over
Hoping that it's only up from here
Although the hill has been so tough to clear
In all honesty it's cos this fear that nothings here is tough to veer from
But I keep on cos the summits near
Tell me what to say, it's fine cos I'll be making the rules
If they set the stake up high, I'll find a way to the roof
Had to learn it's best if I don't try evading the truth
Don't be waiting for the time, the time ain't waiting for you
They hide away among the gates
As I find a way to numb the pain
The sirens play as I run away
It's my escape, I love the chase
They try to hunt me down and lock me up, they don't succeed
I'll keep my songs authentic, only choice that's clear to see
The sirens play as I run away
It's my escape, I love the chase
Did it by myself, did it on my own
Always told myself to never let go of hope
Underestimated though this ain't my first rodeo
Pick the pencil and notebook cos it floats my boat
Tell a lie the whole earth knows, call it pinocchio
Hard to trust nobody, really does go to show
This, I do hope revokes, if we go toe to toe
I'll be going at you, but I won't blow my nose, so funny
I remember thinking hopefully nobody wants to go judge me
I was totally scared that it would take a toll on me emotionally
That's a no from me
Good thing that they're ignorant and know nothing
I'm glad I learned how to walk away
If I didn't then you all would see a conflict raise
Screw a nine to five, it's just not my thing
I would rather spill my truth by writing songs all day, aye
Our definition of the word succeeding
Might be a bit different, see I succeed when
I got an audience of all the kids who all know what the bottom is
That I can maybe help out of the deep end
That's why I go and turn my anger into drive
Why I stay awake at night, why I'm taking what is mine
Some say I won't ever make it but I'm brave enough to try
You will not take away my drive so better stay away from I
They hide away among the gates
As I find a way to numb the pain
The sirens play as I run away
It's my escape, I love the chase
They try to hunt me down and lock me up, they don't succeed
I'll keep my songs authentic, only choice that's clear to see
The sirens play as I run away
It's my escape, I
They hide away among the gates
As I find a way to numb the pain
The sirens play as I run away
It's my escape, I love the chase
