Block the world
Hear the water rushing in the stream
Between the words
The silence gets overwhelming
Block the static or
The static will get you
It is louder than ever before 

This is my escape
This is the place that I go
When the silence is all around
Down on my face
I am trying to concentrate
On a memory 

Up all night again
Keep telling myself it's safe
In that hiding place
Which might just be blown away
No fear for the side effects
If the vision's loud and clear
Hey now, hold on
The static is gone 

This is my escape
This is the place that I go
When the silence is all around
Down on my face
I am trying to concentrate
Back in that place
There is a lot I could find
But I'm afraid of a breakdown
Is this what it takes
For once to feel whole? 

Give up
Hey punk!
Give up
Hey punk! 

This is my escape
This is the place that I go
When the silence is all around
Down on my face
I am trying to concentrate
On a memory
This is my escape
This is what holds me together
This is what it takes
For once to feel whole 

To feel whole
So long
My escape
So cold
So long
So long
