the more you want to run
the further the door gets
when i hold you in my gaze
and there is nothing else to say
i can still find you
when you look away
you can say you are free
but you are fooling yourself
for you belong to me
so i’ll strip you to bare wood
show you how to stand
keep your legs under your shoulders
to forget everything you know
forget it in your bones
make you so tired
it is only my voice you hear
teach you how to keep your balance
and generate momentum
flex your knees when in a jam
fight back enough till the bad guy
doesn’t want to ever come back
show you over and over and over again
until you think you were born that way
and somewhere between nowhere and goodbye
you’ll become a potter’s wheel
gather momentum, store kinetic energy
and unleash your heart into mine
take my hand, give me peace
peace that we all seek yet so few find

peace
