The Real Escape Lyrics - Everon

I took a look at myself 

I dropped all my defenses 

After fooling myself 

For so long 

I broke all my habits 

I gave up my pretences 

I faced all those things 

So crazy and wrong 

I had reached a point 

Where I could fall no deeper 

Right there I knew what to do 

Eventually 

I know you thought 

I was just running away 

But the real escape 

I had made years ago 

Deep inside of me 

Are there just no Forevers in life 

Are they all just illusion 

Just something we build to protect us 

From feeling so lost and lonely 

Would it be wiser to be 

Happy when things are just good 

Instead of yearning for perfection 

That we'll never find most likely 

That advice I have given 

To friends and that so much more 

Applied to myself 

Came back to my mind 

How desperately I must have 

Tried to believe 

That in my own little world 

Things were perfectly right 

I lied to myself 

I despised myself 

I denied myself 

But the pain grew stronger 

I will lie to myself 

I will despise myself 

I will deny myself 

Not one day longer 

Because there is no such thing at all 

At least not for you and me
