Escape

I'll be your friend just for tonight
We will pretend that we're alright
I'll hold you close to keep you safe
Away from those that play the game
They'll wait for you to be alone
And follow you into your home
When you're asleep, the fear will grow
It swallows you to depths below

I won't help you
I won't heal you
I won't save you
I'll consume you

When they have left your empty room
A lonely soul, no flowers bloom
The heart will hurt and lose all trust
From blackened words to forceful lust
You sit outside to look at me
I'm in your hand, I'll set you free
I'll be your friend just for tonight
Until you learn that you're not right

I won't help you
I won't heal you
I won't save you
I'll consume you
