Escape Artist

I try to feel the sunshine while standing in the rain (in the rain)

You try to hold me down with all your restraint (your restraint)

I'm the greatest escape artist, the hardest situation is getting free

From the terror that keeps confining me, I got to be

Better than Houdini and David Blaine

With no magician, no illusion, no subliminal, no hypnosis to your brain

I'm untrained

Children shouldn't try this at home at all

I'm a freelance professional and this is all my fault

I staged the whole bit

I drink and talk a little shit and see who got the balls to pull a strap

And really use it, that's where the fun comes in

'Cause after they pop me, they got to hide my body

So no one's suspicious about who shot me

It's interesting to see the means and the tactics and tape

To make sure that my death is tucked away nice and safe

Sunshine's for suckers and queers

That's what they told me as they rolled me in the carpet

And threw me over the bridge just like I was some garbage

Of course I was unconscious, not dead, in the sense they thought I was

But a slug in your dome will get you caught up 'cause

I'm not invincible, I could die a million times

Each time more painful than the first, still I survive

Both hands are tied behind my back as I'm breathin' dirty water

My legs are bein' mauled to death by the sewer rats

I move erratically to make them work for their meal

While dislocating my shoulders, I slip out just like banana peel

I'm close to drowning again

Ten minutes and counting me to them

Is my record so I feel it like I'm ahead

In points was the view from the west but it's all good

Best believe that your boy will be back to walk the neighborhood

In no time water logged and bullet ridden

They be like, "I can't believe that he did it, he really escaped!"

No stun, I done fucked with some gangsters

Not no bitchass wangstas

But some real gangsters fed my legs into a woodchipper

But the blades got caught on my bones 'cause I woke up screaming

And noticed that my right foot an' leg was gone

My eye popped out the socket and danglin' on the cheek

They must have strangled me to sleep 'cause I'm unable to speak

I must have screamed just inside of my head

'Cause they still think that I'm dead

They using a shovel to scrape away clumps of the red

From out the chipper they pry my legs out

So they can chop me up manually, bag me up and throw me out

No sweat, give me a week and a roll of some duct tape

And a shovel to dig the rest of my body up and I'm straight

I must make it to the wishing well

The well to make a wish

And once I am there, a penny I spare

In hopes of these sins you forgive

With vultures all calling, in wait of my falling

Victim to this horrible wind

I arrive just in time, it must be a sign

Father, forgive me for all that I did
