The Great Escape Lyrics

I dug a hole and it's cavernous

Then my lantern went out, since then I've been in the dark

But you're a sight to see even though I can't

I'm exaggerating, I've been reading too much Lovecraft

I wrote down this song and it's illegible

My handwriting's bad, my notebook's falling apart

And I can't remember a single word of it

So if this is no good, trust me that it once was

My dream's in tatters

It's the only thing that matters

Apart from you

So let's keep looking up, keep digging up

I'll find my way

The great escape

The great escape

I've lost my sense of direction

Wish a creature would pull me into the abyss

At least then I'd be going somewhere

But there's too much outside that I am going to miss

All my friends are listening to this as a favour

That's okay, hope you like it, am I sounding sincere

Imagine I got the attention of a stranger

And they're listening because this is what they want to hear

My dream's in tatters

It's the only thing that matters

Apart from you

So let's keep looking up, keep digging up

I'll find my way

The great escape

The great escape

My dream's in tatters

It's the only thing that matters

Apart from you

So let's keep looking up, keep digging up

I'll find my way

The great escape

The great escape

I'll find my way
