Escape Velocity - Rhett Miller, Black Prairie

I never achieve

I never achieve escape velocity

I never break free

No matter how hard I try

The world is full of people

All these needy people

Crushin' me inside

Tryin' to make my own way

I wind up back here lonely

Wish I never tried

I don’t need you to tell me I’m a sorry guy

Especially when you’re the reason why

I never achieve

I never achieve escape velocity

I never break free

No matter how hard I try

My head is filled with noises

Made and unmade choices

Burnin' up my brain

I try to fill my hollow

My pride’s too big to swallow

Drivin' me insane

I don’t need your pity or your promises

Especially when I know you won’t say «yes»

I love you anyway

I love much more than I care to say

I love anyway

I love much more than I care to say

I never achieve

I never achieve escape velocity

I never break free

No matter how hard I try

I never achieve

I never achieve escape velocity

I never break free

No matter how hard I try
