Nervous eyes
         Searching for something to latch on to
Flickering thoughts

                                              ­          a   w   a   y

Searching for a way out
Reaching into nothingness

                                                   d  e  s  p  e  r  a  t  e  l  y

Flashes of laughter in the distance
You can't reach the sound
The shadows
They come
c   l   o   s   e   r

                          c  l  o  s  e  r

               ­                                             c l o s e r

You panic
   And run to them
