Escape

The street was rushing beneath,

This is the fastest way I know.

Where all the cars move backwards,

And giant alley trees will grow again.

I cut across the city's backyards,

Counting cracks along the concrete,

A burst open spider web,

And every blade of grass will make me sneer.

When all the fields dried up,

Tens of comfortable years ago.

I made this journey once before.

And the city fed me long enough.

To put a weight around the middle.

This is apparent affluence.

Left in a pack when I was little,

Then I got pulled apart from closest friends.

There was a door on my horizon,

And silver sparkling rays were pouring in.

So I sneaked away on soft hands.

Another world in the making.

(Ohhh, I know I fall)

(Ohhh, I know I fell)

(Oh, I know I'm fallen)
