Escapist Lyrics - Brandtson

And this one is certainly 

an interesting story. 

It starts with an ending 

and we're both characters in play. 

On the same stage 

but on a different page 

you'll go on to become 

the queen of some kingdom. 

And I'll be that monster of myth 

off in some forest, mire or filth. 

This time around 

I'll meet you halfway 

and I won't spend my life 

lying awake at night. 

And they'll say 

I'm the emerald 

missing from your crown. 

The greatest escapist 

the world has ever known. 

Now it's so clear to me. 

We should have seen this coming 

back at the beginning. 

We both chose to take this road 

to the same place 

but at a different pace. 

This time around 

I'll meet you halfway 

And I won't spend my life 

Lying awake at night 

And I'll say 

I'm the fabled 

one that let you down. 

The greatest escapist 

the world has ever known.
