Escape Artist

Midnight is rising

Your eyes adjusting

On a sullen, distant and persistent moon

The shadows are thickets

They swarm with frogs and crickets

Droning a collective tone

Once you get lost in it

There's no need for turning back

Twilight has pulled you in strong

Just like that the weather shifts

And something triggers your legs to carry on

Why are you running away over and over again?

Why are you running in place?

Daylight is shining

Your retinas are burning, burning, burning

Something is evident

Your legs will carry you on

The old haunts are real

It's just a matter of time before they bury you
