just one night
let me run away
to where I could feel
utmost freedom
to where I could be
a faceless stranger.
just one night
to feel the wind brushing
against my skin
to lay on the grass
and stare at the astral sky.
just one night
with a familiar face
fingers intertwined
dancing under the lamplight
flickering, catching a common rhythm
one tap after the other.
just one night
of never having to feel
the apathy wrestling
inside of me believing
it would never matter
so long as I am free.

just one night
let me run away
to where I could feel
utmost freedom
to where I could be
a faceless stranger.
just one night
to feel the wind brushing
against my skin
to lay on the grass
and stare at the astral sky.
just one night
with a familiar face
fingers intertwined
dancing under the lamplight
flickering, catching a common rhythm
one tap after the other.
just one night
of never having to feel
the apathy wrestling
inside of me believing
it would never matter
so long as I am free.
