"The Great Escape" --Moby
(feat. Azure Ray)

I'll use a lock that has no key
Bind you with chains
That no one else can see

Let the water creep over your face
I'll send it in waves
Just to watch you perform the great escape

How long can you hold your breath
While you hold mine again and wait
Just to watch you perform the great escape

I'll pull your arms tight behind you back
Use myself as weight
And wonder while you fade

How long can you hold your breath
While you hold mine again and wait
Just to watch you perform the great escape

(Imagery here is the result of a fight with my husband, a miscommunication with my mother, and missing my father so much that it hurts to breathe. --Somewhat inspired by the Japanese Onryu and/or Yurei, and the idea that hair continues to grow even after death).
