[Verse 1]
Punch in, punch out
Same screen, same route
My eyes stay open
My mind stays mute
Coffee in a paper cup
Cold by noon
Clock keeps chewing up my hours
Too soon, too soon
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't feel much
Just the pull
Hands on repeat
Head gone null
When the room goes grey
And the pressure climbs
I need one place
To lose my mind
[Chorus]
The beat is my escape
The beat is my escape
I feel it take me far
I feel it wake my heart
The beat is my escape
The beat is my escape
When I go numb all day
It cuts right through the haze
[Verse 2]
Phone keeps buzzing
More to do
Another deadline
Another view
I wear my silence
Like a shell
Smile for a minute
Then I farewell
Late train home
Empty stare
But when that bassline lands
I'm almost there
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't feel much
Just the pull
Hands on repeat
Head gone null
When the room goes grey
And the pressure climbs
I need one place
To lose my mind
[Chorus]
The beat is my escape
The beat is my escape
I feel it take me far
I feel it wake my heart
The beat is my escape
The beat is my escape
When I go numb all day
It cuts right through the haze
[Bridge]
Let it hit me
Let it spin
Turn the lock
Turn me in
No more hours
No more chains
Just one drop
And I come back again
[Final Chorus]
The beat is my escape
The beat is my escape
I feel it take me far
I feel it wake my heart
The beat is my escape
The beat is my escape
When I go numb all day
It cuts right through the haze
