i know it gets darker
in tunnel vision
but soon we'll see the light
we'll get out alive

we are trapped
in cages
that have wheels
and around us
are people
just like us

we have the choice to move but we don't
because it's easier to let our fears consume us whole
than letting it chase us when we are alone

the lights are blinking
my eyes are tired
your hands are freezing
but we're both on fire

i know it gets harder
in tunnel vision
but we'll make it through
we'll go back home soon
