Escapeism, is a way of life
Where there ain’t limits nothing yet is predefined
You can make bridges, or you can seek the tide
There’s only faint scribbles all is left to be designed
It can seem a riddle, it can seem a lie, but the truth is in the moment and it’s fleeting by
With great vision, and a regal mind, we can choose that now we’ll own it it’s a blissful ride
Cos everybody used to tell me I should shoot for the moon
Said I’m sorry I was holding back I needed the fuel
Now I don’t worry cos I know that if I’m dreaming it’s cool
They won’t stop me it’s my kingdom and I’m scheming to rule
Looking back never helps I won’t dwell on my woes
Took a chance, could have failed but I fell in the zone
Now I plan to prevail living well on my own
To the land holy grail let’s escape and we’ll go
If time’s running from the past would you chase it
If life gave you one more chance would you take it
A new day is a new start just don’t waste it
This is that Escape-ish.
This is that Escape-ish
If time’s running from the past would you chase it
If life gave you one more chance would you take it
A new day is a new start just don’t waste it
This is that Escape-ish.
This is that Escape-ish
Yeah, whatever the mind prefers
There’s new horizons now residing in the multiverse
In this bubble, we find an ideal world
And we’ll be long into the skies by the time it bursts
If we stay humble, and we stay alert, we can stumble on good fortune yeah that’s fate at work
It can seem a puzzle, it can seem absurd, but it’s lighting up this tunnel I don’t need to search
Cos everybody used to tell me keep my chin up and grin
Said I’m sorry I was failing need to get up win
Now I don’t worry cos I’m aiming to be peaceful within
They won’t stop me it’s my kingdom and I’m taking the grid
Look ahead, it’s my quest to excel and be big
Took a risk, could have slipped sailing close to the wind
Through the mist I’ll progress never down on my chips
To the land of treasure troves let us roam into bliss
If time’s running from the past would you chase it
If life gave you one more chance would you take it
A new day is a new start just don’t waste it
This is that Escape-ish.
This is that Escape-ish
If time’s running from the past would you chase it
If life gave you one more chance would you take it
A new day is a new start just don’t waste it
This is that Escape-ish.
This is that Escape-ish
Nana nana nana nana nana nana mmm that Escape-ish
Nana nana nana nana nana nana yeah that Escape-ish
Nana nana nana nana nana nana mmm that Escape-ish
Nana nana nana nana nana nana yeah that Escape-ish
If time’s running from the past would you chase it
If life gave you one more chance would you take it
A new day is a new start just don’t waste it
This is that Escape-ish.
This is that Escape-ish
If time’s running from the past would you chase it
If life gave you one more chance would you take it
A new day is a new start just don’t waste it
This is that Escape-ish.
This is that Escape-ish

Watching My Dreams
04:31
|
|||
Sometimes, I’m lost within my window
I can’t, decide if this is real though
It all just seems like it’s a dream and I’m watching
My mind’s deceived
I try to wake, there’s no option
I’m lost in my window
I see clear with my eyes but they’ve been closed
Why am I involved
Cos a dream can’t be controlled.
Yet I watch like a new soap
It just offers me new hope
I try to see which will to see which will implode
That’s real
I want to finally wake up, to a life that’s divided from fake stuff
Cos the line between night and the day’s rough
I still do not know which reality’s made up
It’s a tragedy I’m getting through
Images pass me by like in a photo booth
Innocence is found in dreamers I’m the living proof
Unless I’m living in what isn’t true
Sometimes, I’m lost within my window
I can’t, decide if this is real though
It all just seems like it’s a dream and I’m watching
My mind’s deceived
I try to wake, there’s no option
Yeah, story of my life
Star of the show, it’s like Maury in my mind
But it never seems to happen in the morning when I rise
Day after day yet I’ve still been caught surprised
I heard somebody say you have to walk until you fly
I heard somebody say you can talk dreams into life
And that’s what I’ll do with mine
Yo I wish I could reply to the eyes in the sky and say thanks for the advice
It’s a dusk ‘til dawn thing
I bust the door in
Off the floor I never jump with caution
I trust I’ll fall in a crowd of supporters
On the cusp of glory astounded by all this
Am I dreaming? I think I wanna stay here
Will I ever wake up from this daymare
It all seems great every time that I sleep
Or maybe the real world is under my feet
Sometimes, I’m lost within my window
I can’t, decide if this is real though
It all just seems like it’s a dream and I’m watching
My mind’s deceived
I try to wake, there’s no option
Sometimes, I’m lost within my window
I can’t, decide if this is real though
It all just seems like it’s a dream and I’m watching
My mind’s deceived
I try to wake, there’s no option

They say there’s lies, damn lies and statistics
Damn, I don’t know what I’m gonna pick yet
If I say I’m gonna fly into the distance
Well, I might be the one that gets it
Out of a million other kids with a wish list
Hell, what a place for a misfit.
I’ma believe can’t nobody tell me different
I’m living like I’ve never been here it’s clear
I’m not scared to be dead wrong at least a part of me tried
I came prepared to be headstrong like armour sealing my mind
Life is good and it’s scarce so why the heck would I hide
Go take your misconceptions they’re never denting my pride, no no no
No love without fighting
No Gods without titans
No cost without pricing
No loss without finding
So don’t go knocking my kindness
I might be king could be highness
Stay floating in my biz
This kingdom’s where I live
I think there’s something you should know
I think there’s something, yeah
I think there’s something you should know
I think there’s something
I think there’s something you should know
I think there’s something, yeah
I think there’s something you should know
I think there’s something
Nah they can’t tell me nothing
I’m the boss of this here tale I like my odds
Put my coin up in the well and called for oz
Took my mind up out the box and got a spell of options look at all the possibilities I smile and nod at ‘em
If I said I’ll walk on water bet you won’t fathom
If I said I ought to blow you’d think I won’t canon
Every stop I’m bounding forward like a vault champion
Yeah this that gold talent
Yeah we can go
Deviating from standards, all in gold and covered in carats
Anywhere the river meanders, I’ll be bold and end up in paradise
I can be the one that is bound to rise
Living in the clouds that’s our lives
Yeah making the most
Stay taking that dose
Free range of the coasts
We reign unopposed
Prevailing I know
We claim what we sow
Keep gaining and glow
Keep gaining and glow
I think there’s something you should know
I think there’s something, yeah
I think there’s something you should know
I think there’s something
I think there’s something you should know
I think there’s something, yeah
I think there’s something you should know
I think there’s something

Free Falling (Interlude)
02:56
|
|||
I was free falling through the atmosphere but I had no fear
I woke up this morning like my life is zen
Why do I pretend
I woke up to a world full of bliss, and had to savour the moment
Blue skies, no haze, so crisp
Like a view through the roses
A new high won’t fade won’t dip
Tryna capture it in a pic
All views when I’m floating
A cool dude and I’m posing hoping
I glide away
Won’t die today
Man I’m hurtling quicker than I fighter plane
There’s no vaccine for the mad scenes
When you’re way up in the clouds what’s night and day
It’s spontaneous
Do craziness
So I’ll never be tied I’ll ride the wave
And while I free fall I won’t feel small
Cos the whole world’s looking like a tiny place
No I don’t really wanna have to land on the Earth soon
Chasing down a dream no grands will I pursue
Staying up high won’t stand for a worse view
Riding on a cloud I’ma hang like a surf dude
And I’ll burst through suttin’ like a typhoon
No curfew first moon til it’s high noon
And when I fly through I’ll rise like Raichu
No storm brewed that can mess with my mood
While I’m free falling I’ll let life astound before I touch the ground
I was free falling through the atmosphere but I had no fear
I woke up this morning like my life is zen
Why do I pretend
I was free falling through the atmosphere but I had no fear
I woke up this morning like my life is zen
Why do I pretend

We are only young
Feel forever strong
So, why do I feel wrong
I have to just move on
I just keep frowning for ages oh I can’t take it no
This feelings’ something’s so bad and I just can’t shake it no
Feel like this life it could kill me it’s like an overdose
Losing myself to the darkness but, I think there’s hope
I have to pick myself up
Cos I keep crashing down
The day has only begun
So no I can’t give up now
I know I will be fine
I know I will be fine
I know I will be fine
I know I will be fine
No this isn’t my first case
I’ve been out here dodging mines since the birthplace
Even when the earth quakes
I pay no mind I never thought that I weren’t safe
Like Adam and Eve with the serpent
For the maddest things out I’ve been yearning
Now I’m managing beats while I’m earning
Nothing’s damaging me like I’m Merlin
I’m a man of mystique but searching
I know better things keep emerging
Yeah I’ve barely even scratched the surface
Still my passion’s completely burning
Cos from this life man I never wanna resign
In the champions lane I make a beeline
And I know damn well that I’ll be fine
So I’m finna shine on that vitamin D vibe
Not even a sky rise could ever really seem high
I make time fly spending all my free time
All composure I know I need to keep mine
More doses flowing through my insides
I know it’s always gonna be bless
All the good feels getting back what I invest
I know that I haven’t gotta stress
Que sera sera it’ll happen what’s next
I know I will be fine
I know I will be fine
I know I will be fine
I know I will be fine
I’ll be fine
No matter what I’m gonna change the tide
And save my pride
I’ll be fine
No matter what I’m gonna change the tide
And save my pride

See imma just start where my heart dun left
Take a breath get my things in check
Nevertheless I’m building the waves
Come hold it together no matter the weather
Coulda been simple holding the sequel
Can’t put all of my life all together
It’s several motions backing them tokens never evolving
I feel like my life could be better
In golden seas
Please see my golden g’s
Seize opportunities
That make for burden fees
Henceforth I might leave
Take tools but never squeeze
Enter voids that might reek
Ingenuity in my team
Like apostrophes I might curve
Curve off and then learn
Breaking goal, you might earn hella potions
You might yearn
In different places you could burn
Always dipping and flipping to your worth
My instance they might surf
In conditions they might hurt
When lane switches and you turf
No Ice to keep me forward
I’m moving to my earth
Keep on running oh oh keep on running yeah
Keep on running oh oh keep on running running
Keep on running oh oh keep on running yeah
Keep on running oh oh keep on running running
With just my pad and quill
I’ll have you running through the hills
No I can’t tell you how it feels
So just stay hot up on my heels
Yeah I can take you far afield
We’ll use this music as a shield, to keep us safe in all the thrills
And a new haven we will build
So I hold faith within the process
Time needs chasing on my conquest
I’ve been taking all my own steps to make my break the sooner the best
Yes, racing versus myself
Guess, I’ll be taking the helm
Bet. Mileage raking as well
There’s time enough to excel
So, take a breath we’re never in a rush
We’re always running they can never interrupt
While I’m in my zen the wider world is hush
I could go anywhere I’m left to trust my gut
Cos even when the mind starts to falter
And every pathway begins to fade
I remember hard times never chalk up
And what everyone around me would say
I was told to
Keep on running oh oh keep on running yeah
Keep on running oh oh keep on running running
Keep on running oh oh keep on running yeah
Keep on running oh oh keep on running running
Keep on running oh oh keep on running yeah
Keep on running oh oh keep on running running
Keep on running oh oh keep on running yeah
Keep on running oh oh keep on running running
If time’s running from the past
If life gave you one more chance
If time’s running from the past
If life gave you one more chance
If time’s running from the past would you chase it
If life gave you one more change would you take it
A new day is a new start just don’t waste it
This is that is Escape-ish
This is that Escape-ish

I’m trying to seize the day
I do not need to wait
An hour can’t be replaced
And money don’t see the grave
Living to be afraid that will not be the case
From sins to dreams that fade a moment is all we chase
So stay in the here and now
Or you’ll never find a place
The sun may not steer back round
Night may not turn to day
Get rid of the fear and doubt
There is no hiding fate
So whether it’s clear or clouds
I know I might say
Carpe Diem
No halfway living we say
Carpe Diem
No halfway living
Carpe Diem
No halfway living we say
Carpe Diem
No halfway living
This is the day that I’m hounding to seize
Wish I had the power to freeze it
Good karma is bounded to me
I’m playing the odds ‘til I’m reaping
Straying from negative feelings waving it off in the breeze
Remaining in relative ease, creating a popular theme
All that we can do is bank on every moment lasting
There’s no point staying anchored while we hold on to the past
Cos that carpe diem, grande living, favours for your heart
‘Til we’re in a mausoleum say we won’t do things in halves
Carpe Diem
No halfway living we say
Carpe Diem
No halfway living
Carpe Diem
No halfway living we say
Carpe Diem
No halfway living
I wanna triumph before I fly off course
And try not to cry much
I’m working to smile more
Not getting tied up
Knocking down iron doors
Cos one day our time comes
If nothing else but that I’m sure
We always wanna plan for more
Another day can seem forlorn
Don’t worry ‘bout the less important
We only have to wait ‘til dawn
Carpe Diem
No halfway living we say
Carpe Diem
No halfway living
Carpe Diem
No halfway living we say
Carpe Diem
No halfway living
Carpe Diem
No halfway living we say
Carpe Diem
No halfway living
Carpe Diem
No halfway living we say
Carpe Diem
No halfway living
