[Intro: ] It always starts… before anything happens… [Verse 1:] Every good thing arrives already wearing its own toe tag. Before love can touch my hands… I’m already digging its grave. Every quiet moment becomes evidence. Every pause becomes a sentence. [Pre-Chorus:] My stomach learns fear before my mind can think. Every heartbeat pulls the alarm. [Chorus:] How do I escape the only place I’ve never left? Tell me… when did survival become the only thing I know how to do? [HOOK] If I’m both the prison and the prisoner… who do I beg to set me free? [Verse 2: ] I don’t know which voice belongs to me. The one that reaches for love… or the one that tears it apart before it can leave. I keep searching every smile for the ending. And somehow… I always find one. [Chorus:] How do I escape the only place I’ve never left? Tell me… when did survival become the only thing I know how to do? [HOOK:] If I’m both the prison and the prisoner… who do I beg to set me free? [Bridge:] I’ve spent my whole life preparing for disasters!!! that never arrived. Now I can’t tell whether I’m surviving… or simply forgetting how to live. Every tomorrow enters already mourning itself. Every hope arrives asking for permission to exist. [Final Chorus:] How do I escape the only place I’ve never left? Tell me… when did survival become the only thing I know how to do? If I’m both the prison and the prisoner… who do I beg to set me free? [Outro:] who do I beg to set me free? who do I beg to set me free [end]
