No Animal Escapes

What could love you
Accept the broken cogs behind your eyes
Break the glass, break the glass
This will take you in hindsight
After every drop of snow has dried and gone palid
Will you, too fade away?

We live to avoid death
We exist to avert being unseen
No animal escapes

Hand in hand
Against everything and all there is
Wrapping your hate around fingers, as gifts
Sealed off from this world

No animal escapes, no not this time
