L: ESCAPE TO DEATH

THE STARS SHONE DOWN MY MIND A HAZE,
"HE'S NOT GOING TO CATCH ME", I SIGH IN CHASE
THE TREES OFFER LITTLE SHELTER IN THE BREEZE
AS THEY CLOSELY PASS, I STIFLE A SNEEZE
MY MUSCLES FATIGUED WITH DAYS OF STRESS,
SWEAT TINGLING DOWN ME, I'M A WASTED MESS.
MY BREAK-OUT HAD NOT GONE TO PLAN
THE GUN STUCK, WE LOST OUR MAIN MAN
IN THE DISTANT DOGS BARK SCENTING MY TREAD
CLOSER THAN LAST TIME, MY ROUTE THEY'VE READ
I REACH THE SIDE OF A BANK COLD AND WET
PADDLE IN TO MY WAIST, OBLVIOUS, JUST TO GET
AWAY FROM THE HOUNDS AND MEN WITH CHAINS
WILL I SWIM FAR ENOUGH AWAY? LITTLE DARK REMAINS
I SWIM FOR HOURS I'M TIRED, ADRENALINE A RUSH
MY LUNGS EXPLODING WITH AN ICY CRUSH
I CAN'T REACH SAFTEY MY MIND IS LOST
I SLIP BENEATH THE FOAM WAS IT WORTH THE COST
WITH MY FINAL BREATHE MY SOUL DRAINS
SEARCH ABANDONED, LIFELESS CORPSE REMAINS
