lyrics by: Petey Leal
(verse 1)
the road is so cold
my knees are giving
to the weight that i'm withstanding
my heart is so untold
from the early morning
to the pressures and frustrations
(chorus)
oh, help me out i'm sinking fast
what was gone and what is past
i need to understand
(verse 2)
i flip the collar of my coat
over my hurting back
while i lean against tempatation
my position's so remote
again and again i keep seeing
my help fading away
(chorus 2)
oh, help me out i'm sinking fast
what was gone and what is past
i need to understand
an outlaw who took his prize
to early on my demise
i need to understand
(outro)
my fire escape
my fire escape
(save me now i'm in the fire)
my fire escape
(Jesus come and be my fire escape)
my fire escape
