CLIFFS: EASY WAY OUT (ECHOES SESSION)

EASY WAY OUT written and performed by CLIFFS and presented by Nashville’s Gibson Garage . Easy Way Out is a mirror held up to an escape-artist society. The song tackles how CIFFS has mastered the art of emotional dodge-ball in a digital age, as well a collective addiction to instant gratification's sugar rush. With a nod to a the bands hero, Tom Petty. LYRICS: I could go out painless, but I probably deserve it I wanna hide my face instead of riskin’ the hurting If you got the right tools You’ll never use your hands Instead of something new You dig your head into the sand You found an easy way out Its hard to get back in You found an easy way out It’s hard to get back in You found your way around the mountain Never breathin’ where the air is thin Taking the easy way out Will make you wish you didn’t You wanna fall in love, but you’re not sure if its worth it die by a thousand cuts, all impossibly perfect Instead of mending the wound, you let yourself bleed Why pick up the sword, when it only risks defeat And its harder now Than its ever been And its all right now When you’re whispering When you’re whispering And its harder now Than its ever been Than its ever been It’s a new disease, believing’ the notion That its alright now You found an easy way out Its hard to get back in You found an easy way out It’s hard to get back in You found your way around the mountain Never breathin’ where the air is thin Taking the easy way out Will make you wish you didn’t Producer: Carmen Yvette Creative Director: Frank Door Sound: Austin Erdmann + Ian Francis © 2025 - Echoes + Cliffs FOLLOW ECHOES https://www.instagram.com/am.echoes https://www.tiktok.com/@am.echoes https://www.youtube.com/@UCsOZPebb-OuR47ldMPy8afA
