One step, two turns
Three beats behind rhythm
Four taps, unlearn
Five laps to outrun ’em
Loud, unending
the voices go on
devious, unyielding
coaxing: “come on”
I’m caught, I’m stuck
in old premonition
same death, same track
endless resurrection
Yet I kept running
and I run some more
but the road kept leading
to where I was before
I’m losing strength
and they’re closing in
I cry…I beg…
“Give me an ending”
One step, two turns
Three beats behind rhythm
Four taps, unlearn
Five laps to outrun ’em
