Escape

He picks up her broken body

And whisks her away.

Away to a world where her pain is gone.

Where she can dance all night long.

 

He only carries her until

she can regain strength.

He knows he has to let her go.

For this is her battle to fight.

But tonight, he is her guide.

 

They can forget their troubles

Together.

When the time comes

For the moon to go down,

 

She'd rather stay

In this world of pretend.

All she wants is just one night.

Even if she is living a lie,

She wants to be here forever.

With him.

With this world.

This world can relieve the pressure.
