i found the phantom would go

across the river and hide from all the suffering

like the shades of trees

take off my dress and flow into the stuff we’re in

when they go out and take all the stuff we’re in

we’ve got neither reachin’ for the stars

and beg and keep us sufferin’

what’d she find?

she ran out in nature

where’d she go?

she ran out in nature

can’t somebody

she ran out in nature

take her home?
