[verse 1] Not every brother is one who wants All blessings sent your way. Not every enemy is found Outside your gate today. There are plenty of friends and foes— Count faces, know whom to call. Those worthy can help, they're ones Who answer when you fall. Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them, Backs touching, proud and tall. Unrecognized again? That's okay, friend— Wealth comes next time round, we'll gain! (Gather ranks with them!) [CHORUS] Escape while you can! I'm trapped too, bound by lies. No road laid straight for truth, Digging graves feels unwise. Now things work differently— Truth saves us all, sets free! But who's giving rights to speak freely? Deception stems from evil, deceitfully! Now I don’t care—I wait till liars fall, Thieves go to hell! Except those repentant souls, no devil strikes them. (Damn him!) [VERSE 2] Well, we've paired off already? Double sheets prepared for test, Let's check our textbook lessons, Pass or fail this control quest! Torn apart, since school's done, We've lied 'bout jobs prestigious, grand. Graduation talk’s absurd, Oh, return to final exams’ demands! Knowledge you've absorbed to marrow, brain cells burned raw! Take your place, break free from lying shackles... [pre-chorus] Tell me what gnaws inside, What do you need, maybe? Together, perhaps, We'll set you free! [chorus] Escape while you can! Escape while you can! Me too—a hostage, speech-bound, Freedom to tell truth allowed. A little truth-telling— Lies poison lives profound. Who grants such rights to me? Where does justice lie? (A?) Driving aimlessly, rushing nowhere, Off the cliff fell into river of lies. Survived, swam ashore, ravens circle above— Alone, alive! My mind grew cold... (My mind grew cold) [outro] Anyone can flee captivity— Stop feeding others lies endlessly!
