Escape

Birds can't fly high
High into the sky
They can't escape

Fish can't swim fast
Fast from the cast
They can't escape

Cats can't bounce back
Back from attack
They can't escape

No one can escape
Escape from his cape
Of dark, secret nights

The birds, fish and cat
Can't get away from that
He waits in the hole

I tried to fly high
I tried to swim fast
I tried to bounce back
I didn't escape
