“Escapism” Raye ft 070 Shake Lyrics
[Intro]
Instrumental
Instrumental
Sleazing and teasing, I’m sitting on him
All of my diamonds are dripping on him
I met him at the bar, it was twelve or something
I ordered two more wines ’cause tonight, I want him
[Verse 1: Raye]
A little context if you care to listen
I find myself in a sh#t position
The man that I love sat me down last night
And he told me that it’s over, dumb decision
And I don’t wanna feel how my heart is ripping
In fact, I don’t wanna feel, so I stick to sipping
And I’m out on the town with a simple mission
In my little black dress and this sh#t is sitting
[Pre-Chorus: Raye]
Just a heart broke b#tch, high heels six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sipping champagne
I don’t trust any of these b#tches I’m with
In the back of the taxi sniffing coc@#ne
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk s€x
I was looking for a man who was on the same page
Now it’s back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
[Chorus: Raye]
‘Cause I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
Take this pain away
You’re asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don’t wanna feel
[Verse 2: Raye]
Take this joint how I’m blowing this steam
Back to my ways like in 2019
Not twenty-four hours since my ex did it
I got a new man on me, it’s about to get sweaty
Last night really was the cherry on the cake
Been some dark days lately and I’m finding it crippling
Excuse my state, I’m as high as your hopes
That you’ll make it to my bed, get me hot and sizzling
If I take a step back to see the glass half-full
At least it’s the Prada two-piece that I’m tripping in
And I’m already actin’ like a d#ck, know what I mean?
So you might as well stick it in
[Pre-Chorus: Raye]
Just a heart broke b#tch, high heels six inch
In the back of the nightclub, sipping champagne
I don’t trust any of these b#tches I’m with
In the back of the taxi sniffing cocaine
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk s€x
I was looking for a man who was on the same page
Now it’s back to the intro, back to the bar
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
[Chorus: Raye and 070 Shake]
‘Cause I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
Take this pain away
You’re asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don’t wanna feel, hmm (What?)
[Bridge: 070 Shake and Raye]
‘Cause I don’t wanna feel like I felt last night
I don’t wanna feel like I felt last night
Be at peace with the things you can’t change (Last night)
I’ll be naked when I leave and I was naked when I came, yeah
Out of reach, out of touch
Too numb, I don’t feel no way
Toast up, so what?
Street small, but it go both ways
So, you’ll run, yeah
But you’ll never escape
Sunset in the maze
[Chorus: Raye]
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night, oh
Doctor, doctor, anything, please
Doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
You’re askin’ me my symptoms, doctor, I don’t wanna feel
[Hook: 070 Shake]
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
[Outro: Raye]
Hmm, lipstick smudged like modern art
I don’t know where the fvck I am or who’s driving the fvcking car
Speeding down the highway, sipping
Mixing pills with the liquor fvck these feelings
I left everyone I love on read (Uh-uh)
Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (Uh-uh)
I remember nothing so there’s nothing to regret (Uh-uh)
Other than this 4/4 kick drum pounding in my head
