Got Away Safely (free) 04:51
I got to pick from the outset which challenge that I chose Every step I took was matched- they stomped down on my toes Leaving home was a bit farfetched, as far as leaving ghosts goes The living faint, the pallets paint, the open boxes close Don’t you dare go alone; dangerous things hide in the wild All the flames that were thrown are just a leer away from burning, ‘cause we’re playing with fire Running into you in such a place as this is rare I’ll throw sand into your eyes so that you will miss this glare But I’m paralysed with fear because when you recover you’ll discover The missing number hidden under the one who rests in heavy slumber Wake him up, wake him up, so he can go back to the mountains where he grew up My life spent living by the handbook A hundred and fifty-one ways to lose my soul By catching all the others; ‘gotta catch ‘em all!’ It became my master one day You’re a sickly, coughing petty thief, some would call a backwards snake You dig a pit, but then you trigger every trap you make Smokescreen your disguise, I’ll be surprised when we realise you were fake The thunder shocks, you’re throwing rocks, you’re hit by an earthquake You have caught my attention; playing hard to get has left me paying the price Do I need a third dimension, or will simply making eye-contact with you suffice? Gambling away your life will cost you more than just your time My life spent living by the handbook A hundred and fifty-one ways to lose my soul By catching all the others; ‘gotta catch ‘em all!’ It became my master one day Every town I went to mixed in colours like an artist But I was never content to just win- I had to climb the fastest Then I found that at the summit is where the ground plateau’d So I took another route; now I’m on Victory Road I thought I was the champion, but I was late No matter how I flailed about, I took your bait I was hooked, and then I sunk down in a half-confused state But now I’ve had my coffee, and I feel great You cut into my chest so you could see my heart and what I felt Please don’t fly away, or else the ice it’s in will never melt Surfing different shores with you may help me find new kinds of wealth The strength I have in giving up restores this fossil back to health Then with a flash you brought me into the light- Screened me from darkness and started to fight Your power planted within me a seed that leeched the life From my metronome and its poisoned beat and set me right I went back home to where you were waiting for me You wrapped me in your arms and said, “Son, why are you running away? Withdraw from me no longer; we’ll hit the gym together. I’ll be your leader.” Later that night, you threw a great ball, to celebrate my return, the child prodigal The party was a hit, but something critical was missing The type of man I’d evolved from was wheezing and hissing I attacked him there, one-on-one; I focused all my energy and went up a level We danced with swords until I’d won; I took him down, released him—he went back to the devil At last I had escaped from this hypnosis that absorbed my dreams. My life spent living by the handbook A hundred and fifty-one ways to lose my soul By catching all the others; ‘gotta catch ‘em all!’ It became my master one day I finally got away safely I finally got away safely
