“Look around, you don’t belong
In this place, in my heart
So leave this now, and run away
Escape to home for me

While I’m gone, please don’t forget
My name, what you meant
And while you’re gone, I’ll still love you
Please, escape to home for me”

Torn apart, I disappeared
Into thin, unclear air
Where angels dance, I’ll meet her there
Until then, our home is nowhere

Two years since the day
When I could not hear the words,
And “I can’t come up for air”

Maps remain beneath the dust
Of seven ten, and the memories of
Passed notes between birds and snakes
They say; “escape to home for me”

Before now, my eyes were shut
Snakes could fly, birds could crawl
Where angels dance, I’ll meet her there
Until then, our home is nowhere

“Sometimes home isn’t enough
All I need is this, and somewhere to breathe
My whole life, I’ve ran away
But now I know birds can’t crawl, I miss you”
'"Escape To Home For Me"' is a song from my album Cristo, Volume II: Prayers.
