lyrics

say it to me now
i feel it around me
say it to me now
i feel it around me, i feel it around
say it to me now
i feel it around me, i feel it around me

let's build our own escape
use all our hands to make our way
if it should go to waste
we were all born to recreate

say it to me now
i feel it around me, i feel it around me
say it to me now
i feel it around me, i feel it around

let's build our own escape
use all our hands to make our way
if it should go to waste
we were all born to recreate

and i see the light
cutting through me like a knife
and i see the truth
undoing me, undoing you

let's build our own escape (i feel it all around me)
use all our hands to make our way
if it should go to waste
