I've given up on giving up slowly, I'm blending in so 
You won't even know me apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption 
Because I know to live you must give your life away
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and 
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here 
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here 
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

I'm giving up on doing this alone now
'Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving 
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

'Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and 
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here 
'Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here 
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave 

'Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and 
I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I've gotta get outta here 
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here 
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging 
You to be my escape.

I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You

So were You
