[Verse] Heard he moved states Got a new face Same name on the lease in his head though New friends Same echo Scroll his page slow Highlights Halo Caption says "he's better than ever" But I read between letters Late night In the kitchen light We swore we'd split when we hit twenty-five He left first I stayed stuck in drive Car in park Hands at ten and two Eyes blind [Chorus] Did he get out? I don't know Did anyone ever really get out? Or we just learn the exits for the same old route Did he get out? I don't know Did anyone ever really get out? Or we just trade new walls for the same old doubts [Verse 2] doctor asks "What's escape mean?" I joke "Probably somewhere past this caffeine dream" laughs Writes slow on a small screen I keep score Of every door Thought I walked through it Turns corridor Same fight Different metaphor Mom says I'm "Doing fine now" 'Cause I stack books on the nightstand high Like I can climb out by reading every spine [Chorus] Did he get out? I don't know Did anyone ever really get out? Or we just learn the exits for the same old route Did he get out? (yeah) I don't know Did anyone ever really get out? Or we just trade new walls for the same old doubts [Bridge] Maybe there is No outside Just wider rooms Same old mind Maybe "leaving" Ain't a line It's the way you Stand inside [Chorus] Did he get out? I don't know Did anyone ever really get out? Or we just learn the exits for the same old route Did he get out? I don't know Did anyone ever really get out? Or we just call this cage "a different town" Did he get out? ("Yo, Josh, did he get out?") "I don't know. Did anyone ever really get out?" [whispered] "Aren't we all still in?" You know what I mean? You know what I mean? [deep laugh] [Verse] Sunken places, shrinking faces Brain fried, too much sun exposure (brain baked) Hall of mirrors, red, blue pills and brown Can't pick the right one, this is now Light one, chronic bright sun Shining on us, the boat of Charon Red skies, is the blood shed? Watch as it falls, do I get up or go to bed? This is hell, demon's not fed You think I give a fuck if he has or hasn't been dead? I just got some head, love and despair Lovers and haters who have to pretend to care What if he never made it? Got a good heart but I break it Through the madness, you hear the screams, see the caskets My own dark fantasies, my beautiful black tragedy Who woulda thought it's actually me? [Pre-Chorus] I feel like this is my final form Did I die and I came back reborn? Is it hot in here or am I cold? I need a warm body for me to hold [Chorus] He came in and he never got out He came in and he never got out He came in and he never got out He came in and he never got out [Verse] We always act like we understand It's an American problem Black man, hot sun, blood on my hands How'd you get here? No one knows I know what you know and you know what I know She looks good, but she's no good for me But she still comes back and sees me Think you can save him, well, you can try But no one's made it out alive No, not one, and I know, yeah Yeah, you know I'm still here and I can see Do you feel me? Can you hear me? We're all in here, I think you should leave Before you're like me [Chorus] He came in and he never got out He came in and he never got out He came in and he never got out He came in and he never got out [Outro] No, no, no, no No, no, no, no No, no, no, no He never got out He never got out He never got out He never got out
