We escape from the houseAs the day disappears from the skyInto nightWe became what we wanted to be,Like a dream,Or a ghostI collapse out of turnNear a house, lying still in the grassFelt the heat from the groundRising up to contractAnd expand,Like a breathWe leave from that place,Soaked with sweat and the poison we drankFill the bathtub with ice,Hope this fever will breakLike a heartEasilyBut I do not recall all the words that were formedOn those wire lipsAs they greeted meA promise was made without thought as the temperature climbedAnd I started to sink like the moon tends to do if you stare at it so long,Then you blink, and it€™s goneAnd we crawlTo our sleepWith the dawnAnd isn€™t it the same mistake?And isn€™t it the same mistake?And isn€™t it the same mistake?It€™s not much of an escapeAnd isn't it the same?We awake in the light feeling hollow and selfishly warmClose the blinds and retreat till what is burning is goneAnd it's lightIs awayThen we€™re back in the dark,Chasing nothing through backyards and treesYou ripped your shirt on a fence, but it didn't get meYeah, its fearMakes you slowAnd these creatures look crookedTheir shadows cut lines through my face,And the concrete is fire,Where my bare feet are placedIn a lineNext to yoursAnd I guess I'm not sure if it€™s fear that was bornAs those awful eyesLaid their claim on usI put my hands on the fence,Said your name,And I started to climbAnd it must have been sweatBut I drank it like wineIt was sweetMy mouth was dryI heard you scream but I made no replyI can stillTaste it nowIf I try
