Narnia

There’s an escape in the closet

It’s my way out.

If the house catches on fire

It’s one possible route.

I know that it’s small

I know fire is big

But freedom tastes sweet

When you don’t have to live.

 

There’s an escape in the closet

And you’d never expect

You’d think that I’d rather

To escape with my neck

I know that it’s frightening

And it leaves a mess

But sometimes that option

Just seems like the best

 

There’s an escape in the closet

There’s a secret trap door

But I refuse to use it

Cause I’m hungry for more

I keep up the game

Of dancing with flames

Of crossing off names

Of burying shames

Of taking on blame

 

And every day I think of the portal

That solves the problem of being mortal

And I choose to ignore it with all my might

Because he is breathing, I won’t stop my fight.
