“Escape” is an emotional alternative Americana rock anthem about pushing through pain, uncertainty, and the weight of life while holding onto hope. Driven by jangly acoustic guitars, soaring electric textures, cinematic piano accents, and nighttime highway atmosphere, the song blends raw vulnerability with uplifting energy. Michael Scott’s gritty baritone vocals carry themes of perseverance, faith, self-reflection, and chasing your dreams before time slips away. With reflective storytelling and a powerful singalong chorus, “Escape” captures the feeling of searching for peace in a restless world while reminding listeners that their story isn’t finished yet.
Lyrics
We’re all stars
Shinin’ bright in the night-time sky
Risin’ up in the daytime
Like the red-hot summer son
Life isn’t what it once was
So go ahead and write your story ‘cuz
You only get one shot
And the job’s not done…
Waiting impatiently for angels
To-swoop-down and take-you-to heaven
Stressin’, about insane things
And everything only you can change
Hearts are breaking
We can’t seem to escape the pain
We’re all sittin’ here wishing
He’d reach down and take it all away
Lift your head up
Because we all know
The world won’t stop spinning
And time just won’t wait
You can laugh or you can cry
Make the choice
You can live or you can die
But don’t forget
To find your peace of mind
We’re all stars
Shinin’ bright in the night-time sky
Risin’ up in the daytime
Like the red-hot summer son
Life isn’t what it once was
So go ahead and write your story ‘cuz
You only get one shot
And the job’s not done…
Time is running out
We both know you’re growing old
So search your soul
Till the Lord takes you home
Hope, it’s what we all need
So make sure that
You keep chasin’ your dreams
Listen-up, laugh, love, repeat
You can laugh or you can cry
Make the choice
You can live or you can die
But don’t forget to
To find your peace of mind
We’re all stars
Shinin’ bright in the night-time sky
Risin’ up in the daytime
Like the red-hot summer son
Life isn’t what it once was
So go ahead and write your story ‘cuz
You only get one shot
And the job’s not done…
