lyrics

-Buried in your sand I work my way onto the surface. The sleeper has awaken and it's time to drag you out and break you in.

I am your own step child and your own words were my release.

Today it's time to escape into the wild. This day even the deceased will have a something to say and it's not what you think. There's redemption even for your kind and it's yours to take and mine, away.

Break down your self interest score and let go of your detached mindscape. I am your own escape and what we both touch is the reckoning.

Today one of us will fall and it'll be the one that wins the prize you sought hard to loose.
