I can understand how the edges are rough And they cut you like the tiny slivers of glass And you feel too much And you don't know how long you're gonna last But everyone you know, is trying to smooth it over Find a way to make the hurt go away But everyone you know, is trying to smooth it over Like you're trying to scream underwater But, I won't let you make the great escape I'm never gonna watch you checkin' out of this place I'm not gonna lose you 'Cause the passion and pain Are gonna keep you alive someday Gonna keep you alive someday I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing And you've retreated to your silent corner Like you decided the fight was over for ya Everyone you know, is trying to smooth it over Find a way to make the hurt go away Everyone you know, is trying to smooth it over Everyone needs a floor they could fall through I won't let you make the great escape I'm never gonna watch you checking outta this place I'm not gonna lose you 'Cause the passion and pain Are gonna keep you alive someday They're gonna keep you alive someday Oh, terrified of the dark, but not if you go with me And I don't need a pill to make me numb And I wrote the book already But that chapter of my life will soon be done, oh I'm the king of the great escape You're not gonna watch me checking out of this place You're not gonna lose me 'Cause the passion and pain Are gonna keep us alive, someday Yeah, the passion and the pain Are gonna keep us alive someday, someday
