Inhale exhale, breathe
In out, in out, in out
My lungs are failing

Boom, boom, boom
My heart pounds
A disheartening rhythm

No, no
He can't find me
They can't find me

Tap, tap, tap
Right, left, right, left
I hear footsteps

A glance over my shoulder
Too close, too close
They're on to me

A chill runs down my spine
A shiver in the darkness
"Oh, precious"

A tear slips down my face
I need to hide
I can't be found

It's too late
They've caught me
It's over.

My blood is ice
Sweat covers my limbs
I need to escape

Please, Please
Can't their be a way
To end my misery

Anything, anything...
Gasp, breath, blink
Awake, at last
