I’m convinced I’ve seen, an escape for everything,
They might have different names, but they’re all the same,
But the secret’s safe inside, alone and dark it hides,
And I’d ignore it, but it won’t go away/
And all I feel is static, this beat is automatic,
I’ve tried to kick this habit, but every time I grab it/
I, won’t be the safest place to hide,
Take this cup from me, your sick and twisted lies/
And I won’t be your safest place to hide,
Lord, help me break these chains, I need to see the light/
And now I see the way, You’ve constructed me,
Taking all that was, and throwing it away,
Now I know it’s just, the flame in all of us,
And I can burn this up, or blow it away/
And all I feel is static, this beat is automatic,
I’ve tried to kick this habit, but every time I grab it/
I, won’t be the safest place to hide,
Take this cup from me, your sick and twisted lies/
And I won’t be your safest place to hide,
Lord, help me break these chains, I need to see the light/
And all I feel is friction, I don’t want it, I hate this addiction(repeated)/
I, won’t be the safest place to hide,
Take this cup from me, your sick and twisted lies/
And I won’t be your safest place to hide,
Lord, help me break these chains, I need to see the light/
I, won’t be the safest place to hide,
Take this cup from me, your sick and twisted lies/
And I won’t be your safest place to hide,
Lord, help me break these chains, I need to see the light/
Behind the Song:"This song’s about the “secrets” we hide in our lives sometimes, the things we don’t want anyone to know about us. We fool ourselves into thinking these guilty pleasures aren’t hurting us, that they can’t possible effect us, the invincible people that we are. It’s an anthem for the people who are fed up with hiding these things and letting them control who we are. The chorus states, “I won’t be your safest place to hide”
It also refers to, and can be associated with the topic of “addictions”." - Trevor McNevan (
