Fire Escape

Paralyzed, it's contagious You got the world hangin' on your lips Life's gentle, painless An automatic prerogative Hypnotized, it's voracious I try to grasp at your golden glare Life's fragile, patient Broken glass flyin' through the air Humanize your equation I'd like to be your remedy Swallow, slowly I feel your heartbeat in everything Visualize at the station I took the train to the great escape of New York, subway system I carve the car seat with both our names My heart is tipping over Pouring out when you say Gravity couldn't sway Any place is the place I'll be When you're far away
