Transcend (by Means of Escape)

"Transcend (by Means of Escape)" Lyrics by Lou Kelly

I’m pacing ’round in circles

You’d think I was a vulture

Preying on the crumbs left on the floor

I’m scratching the walls until my hands

Turn into stubs

There is nothing left for me here

Escape. Escape

This place of blood and yellow tape

Escape. Escape

Before it’s too late

Oh, shit

Everyday I’m wasting away in the mirror

No hope, just slop and swill

Dragged down by my dregs of failure

A never-was, never-is, never-will

Burned bridges and a map of dead ends

Transients who will never transcend

Goddammit, I’m crying out for help

Dreams paralyzed and left on the shelf

Wearing Death Incarnate’s cheap perfume

I’m lost in my own cage

A novel; scribbled on every page

“You will die alone”

Escape. Escape

This place of blood and yellow tape

Escape

Before it’s too late

Oh, shit

Everyday I’m wasting away in the mirror

No hope, just slop and swill

Dragged down by my dregs of failure

A never-was, never-is, never-will

Burned bridges and a map of dead ends

Transients who will never transcend

Rejoice in disgust

All alone. All alone in molded homes

of black dust and bone

All alone. All alone in molded homes

of regret and stone

All alone with the discards that were thrown

On the floor with the needles, cum, blood, and bone

Escape. Escape

This place of blood and yellow tape

Escape. Escape

Before it’s too late

Oh, shit

Everyday I’m wasting away in the mirror

No hope, just slop and swill

Dragged down by my dregs of failure

A never-was, never-is, never-will

Burned bridges and a map of dead ends

Transients who will never

Transcend their own past
