[Chris Orrick]
I went to sleep a fifth deep one night when I was twenty-three
Woke up sober and hungover, age of twenty-nine
I've never been the type to keep my feelings discreet
Sometimes I try to hide them buried under funny lines
Walked outta prison on the second day of January
No shirt, no shoes, no service on the flip phone
I made that cell my little sanctuary
Now I'm worried how I'll feel when I get home
It's like, I hung my pictures how I liked them
Found the perfect place to put them when the window let's that light in
And I got used to having cold feet walking on that concrete
And how that jumpsuit fitted on me
Most people hate it when it's quiet, didn't hear the way that I did
The noise made me appreciate the silence, yeah
I used to block it out and drift away
But maybe leaving was a big mistake

[Chorus]
Just trying to stick to my escape plan (escape plan)
Just trying to stick to my escape plan (escape plan)
Just trying to stick to my escape plan
My escape plan, uh
Just trying to stick to my escape plan (escape plan)
Just trying to stick to my escape plan (escape plan)
Just trying to stick to my escape plan
My escape plan

[Chris Orrick]
So I'll be honest, didn't fit in in the commons
And my commissary always was a little light
So yeah, I had my problems, oversensitive to comments
And probably had a tendency of picking fights
A little loud mouth, but fuck it, I'm out now
Time to get comfortable around crowds
See what's happening around town
Maybe grab a coffee, pick the records down at Found Sound
Just keep my head low, my cellmate said so
Try not to focus on your cellphone (Hell no!)
Remember you don't gotta do this alone
Try not to focus on what used to be home
Cause listen, that Stockholm Syndrome could block your vision
Put you right back into that same spot you've been in
You've gotta learn to be more honest with that
If you're not careful, you might wanna go back

[Chorus]

[Chris Orrick]
Always looking for the next fix
Wake up early, time for breakfast
Development arrested, signs pointing to the exit
Today I'm really gonna test it
Don't let it get the best, Chris
Have a good day, man
Just try to stick to your escape plan
You're gonna be great, man
Just stick to your escape plan
