THE GREAT ESCAPE by Luci-Léo

 

It ran in the family  

A sort of sadistic tragedy of love  

We weren’t who we claimed to be  

Everybody’s listening  

Hurry, change the history  

While we still can  

While we still have a chance

 

My destiny’s been stained  

By decades I’ll never see  

I’ll never feel sane  

Always running from my family

 

Running, running, running  

From my family  

Running, running, running  

From my family  

​

(You can’t escape/what’s in your veins/what beats your heart/what made your brain)  

​

(What made your brain)  

​

It ran in the family  

Like a twisted religion  

Though the narrative’s apocalyptic  

The chosen toast their chardonnay  

No consequence or inhibition  

The wicked play their sick little games

 

Every day’s the same  

Broken bottles, blood and shame  

It’s funny how we think we’ll outdrink fate  

How we think we’ll outdrink fate  

How we think we’ll outdrink fate

 

My destiny’s been stained  

By decades I’ll never see  

I’ll never feel sane  

Always running from my family

 

Running, running, running  

From my family  

Running, running, running  

From my family

 

I can’t go home  

I’ll run away  

A road unknown  

My great escape  

How will I know  

If ancestral chains  

Can break until  

It’ll be too late

 

(You can’t escape/what’s in your veins/what beats your heart/what made your  brain)

 

(What made your brain)

 

I can’t go home  

I’ll run away  

A road unknown  

My great escape  

How will I know  

If ancestral chains  

Can break until  

It’ll be too-
