Escape

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

When all the fields dried up

Tens of comfortable years ago

I made this journey once before

And the city fed me long enough

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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
