verse 1 a new machine and a broken human being in a futile mutual last act of defiance
the final scene a curtain cross the screen and the ugly truth is told that the hero must die
prechorus 1 chainsmoke celluloid brave enough to destroy everything you never see when it gets darker
soldier back from troy lawman, king and cowboy isn't that how everyone should see their father?
chorus 1 make me believe in all of these dreams never surrender, never retreat into the sunset cue the end theme your great escape my twist of fate calling
verse 2 edge of my seat 'til the lesson was complete wasn't how to beat a man or to build my own weapons
reality and my responsibility was in how to be a man to death from conception
prechorus 2 forge that golden boy brave enough to employ everything you never see when it gets darker
stories best as toys give them up to find joy knowing that i'm never gonna see my father
chorus 2 make me believe in all of these dreams never surrender, never retreat into the sunset cue the end theme your great escape my twist of fate calling
bridge bravely rise now old me burned down strangely this crown (spoken) is becoming so much more real, and i know that isn't true but a part of me feels a push and thinks it's you...is it you? (is it you?)
chorus 3 make me believe in all of these dreams never surrender, never retreat into the sunset i will not grieve your great escape my twist of fate calling
