Escapist
Brandtson
Send Us A Signal (2004)

and this one is certainly an interesting story
it starts with an ending
and we're both characters in a play
on the same stage, but on a different page

and you'll go on to become the queen of some kingdom
and i'll be that monster of myth
off in some forest, mire or filth, yeah

this time around, i'll meet you halfway
and i won't spend my life
lying awake at night
and they'll say i'm the emerald missing from your
crown
the greatest escapist the world has ever known

now it's so clear to me
we should have seen this coming
back at the beginning
and we both chose to take this road to the same place
but at a different pace

this time around, i'll meet you halfway
and i won't spend my life
lying awake at night
and i'll say i'm the fabled one that let you down
the greatest escapist the world has ever known
