Escape
Escape: Unveiling the Poetic Journey of Love, Loss, and Redemption
Lyrics
In the black hole of your shoulder
In a comforting place close to you
Through the curtain of your hair
Amidst the intimate aspects of your presence
I smelt our hands burning
I sensed the intensity of our connection
If we lost it all
If everything were lost
We could call it learning
We could view it as a form of education
Look at what I've built
Reflecting on what I've constructed
From the things I've broken
From the things I've damaged or destroyed
A nest of songs so close to sleep
A collection of songs near a state of slumber
I give as gifts
Which I offer as presents
Mourning
Grieving
Soft as silk
Gentle and smooth
A warning
A sign of potential danger
I could help you escape
I am willing to assist in your escape
In case you didn't want to stay
If you wish to leave
And my sensitive refrain
My emotionally delicate response
My pale remains
What's left of me
Made you scared to say
Made you hesitant to express
Under my freckles
Beneath my skin's natural spots
Getting older
Aging gradually
Between my breathing
Amidst my breaths
Held by your stare
Captivated by your gaze
Lives a boy yearning
Exists a boy longing for something
Lies a girl turning
Lies a girl undergoing change
I could help you escape
I am willing to aid in your escape
In case you didn't want to stay
If you desire to depart
And my sensitive refrain
My emotionally sensitive response
My pale remains
What remains of my presence
Made you scared to say
Made you afraid to articulate
Hold the wound under the water
Submerge the emotional hurt beneath the surface
Count to ten then breathe again
Pause and regain composure
Lover once I was a daughter
A lover who once was a daughter
Falling sweet
Falling gently
Towards something more than
Toward something more significant
Hold the wound under the water
Submerge the emotional hurt beneath the surface
Count to ten then breathe again
Pause and regain composure
Lover once I almost thought
A lover who almost believed
I wouldn't make the same mistakes
They wouldn't repeat previous errors
