No Escape

I Sit Alone and Watch it
It's Movement Sinister and Slow
And Though I Try to Stop it
I Can See it Slowly Grow

I Know That If it Gets Me
There Is Not a Chance
That I Could Ever Get Away
Or Change My Circumstance

You May Want to Know
The Importance of this Fact
And If or When it Reaches Me
There Will Be No Going Back

Well, Sit Still and Listen
And I'll Tell You What Is There
It's Big and Dark and Ugly
And Goes by the Name..Despair
