The Escapist Lyrics

The hum of wires to our tenements

Cannot soothe

The lurid dyes that stain her skin

Amber bruise

One touch before I break your skin and your form bends, your form bends

Then floating through a window on the morning wind makes your heart sick

Your feet come off the ground, the ground

Your feet come off the ground, the ground

Your feet come off the ground, the ground

Your feet come off the ground, the ground

It swirls inside you throwing rainbows, gasoline kiss

Labor to breathe I can feel the tension, on your lips

And I see the many colors as they're seeping in through shallow skin

Your eyes float on the current, they betray their uncertain end

Our faces contorting in the mirror, and the camera lens

Our faces contorting in the disco, ball that spins

Your feet come off the ground, the ground

Your feet come off the ground, the ground

Your feet come off the ground, the ground

Your feet come off the ground, the ground
