When the snow waits on the ground
For someone to come and do the job
Will you know when it’s time to fly?
When it’s just too late to run

When you stare at the gate and wail for hours
While your foe sleeps by your side
Do you miss the friends left behind?
Do you think of the days when you were young?

But now you’re scared and coward
Not as in your prime
Days when you were proud
Are long gone and forgotten

And now there’s no way out
No way out
There is no way out
No way out

If you drown in your own melting pot
Or you choke when there’s no one around
Will you stop just talking so much?
Don’t you frown at the ones you let down

But now you’re safe and sound
And feel the ties that bind
That you won’t sacrifice
For dreams that once made you fight

And now there’s no way out
No way out
There is no way out
No way out

Now you fake when you pray to your God
And pretend a faith you don’t have
When the vows you made weigh too much
And the space that is left ain’t enough

I bet you never thought it’d be like this
When you told me “son you’ve got to grow up”
And now you need your granny to drop your kids
To the garden while you’re sitting in the job
Go down to your daddy and ask for money
Mamma’s gonna turn on the stove
Remember when you told me to stand alone
And get me some kids of my own.

There is no way out, no way out
There is no way out, there is no way out
There is no way out, there is no way out
