No Escape

They found me

They found me

They found me

FEAR

I awake. T’was just a dream

But I feel their presence, their holy themes

Shout Jesus from the rooftops, Jesus in the streets

I swear they are by that corner

Seemingly stalking to torture

God, you’re so good

I see a black Pilot or white Prius and freeze

I catch myself praying they aren’t what I’ve perceived

If his strength is an ocean we’re all sinking

So heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss

And my heart turns violently inside of my chest

I don’t have time to maintain these regrets when I think about

The way

I can’t get away

My mind betrays, these thoughts stay, I think, “Today, I may finally be free from this curse.”

A nightmare ensues, they pursue, they say, “Today, you may finally come back with this verse”

He loves us

Oh how he loves us

Oh how he loves us

Oh how he loves

An orchestra I try but cannot block in ear or in mind

Feelings of dread I cannot stop, tears streaming inside

Verses surround me, my morals they mock, finding wherever I hide

The curse stays, forever it talks, speaking of a Lord I won’t find
