I don't want to live in pain and fear anymore
How do I get away from you?
I run and run, but end up back here, with you
I hide, but you always find me
I can't get out of the quicksand that is swallowing me whole
Slowly, very slowly, day after day
Sleep is my only refuge
My one sure escape route
I am free, in the safe light of my dreams
But then I awake
Pain returns, fear surrounds me
I look for you, but I'm the only one here
It's me!!!
