The Escape

when the leaves are falling brown
floating through the forest
skeleton trees without a sound
sing the autumn’s chorus
held her wing her looking down
to the bridge before us
somewhere on the edge of town
someone sings the chorus
will you wait for me or will you run
out of the darkness that i have become
innocent fools in the bed that we made
frozen in shadows of sheets where we lay
i am a demon
with you by my side
can’t bear the sight
of myself and my pride
you are an island
where i will escape
will you wait for me or will you run
out of the darkness and into the sun
innocent fools in the bed that we made
frozen in shadows of sheets where we lay
i am a demon
with you by my side
can’t bear the sight
of myself and my pride
your eyes are tiny islands
where i will escape
