The Escape

[Verse 1 – Low Pulse]
Dawn hasn’t broken
But something has shifted
No heartbeat beside me
No warmth in the linen

Curtains stripped bare
Dawn poised to spill
Boot leather whispering
Across the floorboards

You learned quickly

[Pre-Chorus – Measured]
Sunlight waiting
Patient and thin
Breath on the glass
Not prey

Impressive

[Chorus – Quiet Dominance]
You framed the sunrise
You marked the floor
Thought you could pin me
Where I was before

You moved with patience
You planned it fair
But apex shifts
Before the snare

[Verse 2 – Controlled Admiration]
Guarded by allies
You watched while I slept
Measured the rise
And fall of a chest that does not need air

Your eyes were steady
No trembling prey
You wanted proof
You wanted myth reduced to bone

You almost had it

[Guitar Solo – Sleaze Lead, restrained vibrato, slow bends]

[Bridge – The Exit]
Glass shivers once
Night hits pavement
Your wolves inhale
Expecting blood

The curtain stirs
The light creeps in

And I am no longer there

[Final Chorus – Slightly Elevated but Still Cool]
You framed the sunrise
You marked the floor
Thought you could pin me
Where I was before

But apex moves
Before the snare
And now you wonder
If I was ever there

[Outro – Soft, Controlled]
Was I careless
Or curious

Did you nearly hold me

Or did I let you measure
