escapism

Typing all my time away

my breath slows down, I cannot stay 

much longer 

oh how my eyes long 

to rest until the day is done 

and wake up on another one 

a whole year wasted, maybe more, 

my time washed up upon the shore 

a hollow shell I have become 

my feet and fingers going numb 

I try to stay awake my dear,

but this is my eternal fear, 

each day the next each day the last 

how long can repetition last 

I want to run away with you 

to whichever place you choose 

as long as it is worlds away 

and we can stay there in the sway 

of breeze and sky and ocean blue 

I just want to escape with you 

I may just go to sleep right now 

I may place down my heavy plough

To dream of somewhere far away

A place where we don’t need to stay

A place where we can live for truth

A place where we still have a roof

A place where value doesn’t matter

Where we can make the loudest clatter

Shredding money into bits

No more of our fatal fits

No more worry to our bones

We come and go 

We ebb and flow
