The Hunt
The space between us
Keeps growing
In every direction, all the time
Can you feel it coming?
Faster than the speed of light
The inescapable chasm
It sends shivers down your spine

I knew the answer
Even before it left your lips
I see it in your eyes
The  difference is abundantly clear

The space around you
Is freezing, oppressive
You hold your breathe
But still they come
The hounds of yesterday
Baying all through the night
And you know you can’t outrun
What’s chasing you from the inside
The curtains have been drawn
Now you’re hiding somewhere safe
But when the hunt is on
It’s yourself that you need to face
No, It’s not too late

They cannot hurt you now
Don’t you run
Don’t you run away
