Escaping Vapour
Escaping Vapour
Been Chasing Patterns on the breeze
My words are hanging from the trees
A capsule turning in a rhyme
Escaping vapour lost in time
I turned the lock then lost the key
Ill search the earth, the sky the sea
Ride the rhythm, feel the beat
The words are hidden underneath
Echoes bound between the ears
I swam ashore in my own tears
Revolving cloud remains in range
Cascading into maintain range
Encased within the walls of clay
The fears and doubts wont go away
All shapes and textures stay the same
The clearing mist reveals the shame
