No Escape 7-1-01

As I stand with my feet in the sand
                                                  the peaceful water reaches out its hand.


                                                  As if telling me to come in
                                                 and leaving this place filled with sin.


                                                I walk to the shore
                                                Planning to leave this world
                                                Forevermore.
                                               The calm sea stirs
                                                and this place isn’t it was before.

                                                       There is no way
                                                       There is no escape.
