[Verse 1] When it's all fucked up and you're barely afloat, And you look all around but you ain't see no boat, Then who can judge if you sink or swim? And maybe you'll make it, but the odds are grim, So you lower your head for a bit underwater, Just to consider if you should still bother. When you come up again, now you're fully awake, But you can't forget the bliss that it was to escape. [Chorus] Sometimes the world is too stressful to me, And I want to escape all reality, So I sip the drink and I skip the think, And I try my damned hardest, To forget it all and I turn into the escape artist. [Verse 2] Our ancestors were humble and happy, Now we have more but it's dumb and crappy, Only few get ahead, and it's never you, You will never see from the ivory view, So go back to bed and wake up tomorrow, Somehow you have to pay back what you borrowed, And remember this isn't your story, You're an NPC in the real heroes' journey. [Chorus] Sometimes the world is too stressful to me, And I want to escape all reality, So I sip the drink and I skip the think, And I try my damned hardest, To forget it all and I turn into the escape artist. [Verse 3] Just when you thought you were fine, Disaster came to take you offline, And now you've got a hard choice to make, With zero support and absolutely no break, You don't get to win, only feel pain, And you don't get to know when it happens again, Just hope that it's later rather than sooner, Because you don't have the money nor have the humor. [Chorus] Sometimes the world is too stressful to me, And I want to escape all reality, So I sip the drink and I skip the think, And I try my damned hardest, To forget it all and I turn into the escape artist. [Verse 4] I hate things about where I am, how I got here, But I'm grateful that I did it myself, that is sincere, I'm not running from responsibility, but the stress, Tomorrow's another day forward, to progress, I don't know what will happen, but I tried, I'm doing all that I know I can just to provide, So instead of feeling guilty thinking of how it will all take shape, I'm going to find a way to drown it out for now and escape. [Chorus] Sometimes the world is too stressful to me, And I want to escape all reality, So I sip the drink and I skip the think, And I try my damned hardest, To forget it all and I turn into the escape artist.
