wake

and we walk around the land again
before the morning tide comes in
and I break the shells beneath my feet
the escape has been too easy
I will be the one who understands
you will be the ones who hold my hand
the earth our shelter from the game
no more pain
now we’ve come a long long way
they’re the hunters and we are their prey
but the boys keep me from falling down
I know I’m safe with them around
the bad guys gain
will our tracks be washed away by the waves
still the bad guys gain
will our tracks be washed away by the waves
I don’t know where we are or where we’ve been
but we find ourselves contained again
helpless eyes watch my humility
and the infliction of pain upon me
