The Escape from Nothing

I need to escape From what? I do not know It’s what I fear the most I call out questions to the forest that have no solution In the silence I hear a response I look for things that don’t exist in this or any world In the darkness I see them You can call it a sickness, call it a blessing, call it baseless hysteria That’s exactly what they want There’s things below the floorboards, in the basements I can hear them plotting Things you can’t believe (I know there is no escape) When the stars turn red and the wind howls in pain you’ll know There is nowhere you are safe One two, one two I hear them march through the walls I can’t understand their words But I catch the drift Oh the master is here! Let us all rejoice I call out questions to the forest that have no solution Now the responses are endless I look for things that don’t exist in this or any world Now they are everywhere Things you can’t believe (I know there is no escape) When the stars turn red and the wind howls in pain you’ll know Their hand is outstretched (there is no hope left) It’s the only option left to accept So why not reach out? (there is no hope left) Grab on, give in There is nowhere you are safe It’s been months since they last made eye contact Under their breath they describe the end of the world It started that night at the beach There was no moon and no stars, It was so dark We all drank around the fire while they wandered away Saw something in the waves Now they are changed I miss them so much they might as well be dead So here I am at that same beach at that same time Looking for the shape of madness My love, my love, I’ll lose my mind for you!
