I wander the roundabouts
Made peace with the night
I'm lost and the wolves are out
Shadows in the lights
I've got the whole world alone.
Roam these empty streets.
No sound but for stepping stones.
No light left to see
Wolves won't make the morning
So I will walk this night out
Looking in the alleys for
Unopened doors
Search the stones for signs of
What's behind you as you
Twist and climb out
Building branches hide you
In their leaves.
I wander the roundabouts
Lost deep in the fog
Blind hands are left reaching out
Scratching at their God.
I feel more at home
Here in the dark, exploring.
Running up the alleys
As they chase me down
If why you run is coming up behind you,
Why'd you slow up?
Morning's hours away,
Don't give up now.
