Some in a towel and a jacket

As the earth shook again tonight.

Go back to sleep

dream of a land that lays still

and people don't disappear

for telling the truth

Close your eyes and

abandon yourself to the hopes

a roof won't fall

as you're taking a shower

or riding an elevator of a tall building

We have escaped once more,

the winning ticket

to the raffle of Eternal Oblivion.

Fleeing barefoot first

Feeling relieved and weary, after.
