Story Behind The Song
We were going to give this a positive message but it couldn't be done. The music was a little too upbeat to make it anything but a suicide song or an end of the road song

Lyrics
No Way Out Of Here © 2009 D.C.Gillogly
Thought that I was so damn clever
Thought that I could hide forever
Thought that not a soul would ever know
I'd erase
Every trace
Of what was written on my face
Thought that I could bury sorrow
Thought that I could maybe borrow
Some of what I hoped tomorrow sold
Wrapped in pride
Trapped inside
Doctor Henry---Mister Hyde
Fool them all on my own dime
But you can't fool them all the time
[* * ]I can't quit and I can't win
Cuz you don't know what I went and did
You can't tell so I'll never let it out
I'd take it back with a solemn vow
change everything if I knew how
I'd make things right right here and now
(There's)
No way out
No way out of here
No way out
No way out of here
(2x)
(Repeat melody from [*] through to end)
[*] Everyone's on everybody's radar screen, you're always seen by
Everyone's on everybody's case
Everyone's on someone else's Tale to tell,
you know damn well that
Everyone's the chaser and the chased.
I begin to yield my pride My
biggest sin's my final triumph [to * *]
