Be my escape

I´ve given up on giving up slowly, I´m blending in so
You won´t even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away
And I´ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I´ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I´ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there´s no way in knowing where to go, promise I´m going because
I gotta get outta here
I´m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I´m begging You, I´m begging You, I´m begging You to be my escape.
I´m giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I´ve failed and I´m ready to be shown how
He´s told me the way and I´m trying to get there
And this life sentence that I´m serving
I admit that I´m every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
Cause I´ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I´ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I´ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there´s no way in knowing where to go, promise I´m going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I´m afraid that this complacency is something I can´t shake
I gotta get outta here
And I´m begging You, I´m begging You, I´m begging You to be my escape.
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I´ve made
And all I´m asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can´t ask You to give what You already gave
Cause I´ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I´ve been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I´ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there´s no way in knowing where to go, promise I´m going because
I´ve gotta get outta here
I´m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I´ve gotta get outta here
And I´m begging You, I´m begging You, I´m begging
You to be my escape.
I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You
So were You
You won´t even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
because I know to live you must give your life away
And I´ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I´ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I´ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there´s no way in knowing where to go, promise I´m going because
I gotta get outta here
I´m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I´m begging You, I´m begging You, I´m begging You to be my escape.
I´m giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I´ve failed and I´m ready to be shown how
He´s told me the way and I´m trying to get there
And this life sentence that I´m serving

But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
Cause I´ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I´ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I´ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
