The Escape Artist Songtext
von I Am Giant

I don′t know why, I can't explain
An artist of the great escape
I don′t know why I levitate
Above the rest of the cabaret

I don't know why, I can't explain
You′re on the trail of a renegade
The work of an illusionist
I never thought I′d get away with this

A trapdoor that opens in the real world
And lets in the arcane
A trapdoor that opens underneath you
Each time you lie

I didn't think I′d get away with this
I didn't think of an escape
I didn′t think I'd get away with this
I didn′t think of an escape


I don't know why, I can't explain
Lock me up and throw the key away
Sleight of hand, parlour tricks
A drinking game with the alchemist

I don′t know why, I can′t explain
I'm vanishing without a trace
And falling for this fantasy
You′d fall in love with a murder scene

A trapdoor that opens in the real world
And lets in the arcane
A trapdoor that opens underneath you
Each time you lie

I didn't think I′d get away with this
I didn't think of an escape
I didn′t think I'd get away with this
I didn't think of an escape

If this is the real world
Then I become an illusion
If this is the real world
Then I become an illusion


I become an illusion
I become your illusion
A trapdoor that opens underneath you
Each time you lie

I didn′t think I′d get away with this
I didn't think of an escape
I didn′t think I'd get away with this
I didn′t think of an escape
I become an illusion
(A trapdoor that opens in the real world) I become an illusion
(A trapdoor that opens in the real world) I become an illusion
