The Race Paul Shapera (Ft. Daniel Collette, Hayley Warner, Kerttu Aarnipuu, Lauren Osborn & Maggie Kozak)

April:
By day we follow rivers course
The barking echoes through the hills
At night we light a fire
Sit and huddle gainst the bitter chill

Memories we never knew
Appear sometimes inside our heads
Attics we have never seen
And characters we’ve never been

The circles that would bind us
The webs that weave inside us
The waves we hope will part to show
The dreams beneath the seaweed
The home the water’s waves lead
And quietly down to drift we’ll go

The race we run is frightening
Dizzying and blinding
The dogs pursue and never slow
The race we run is frightening
And at our backs they’re biting
We hold our hands and never slow

Leanne: This land is dark and depressing
April: I’m scared
Marjolein: I know. Sarah’s failing at the whole gentle thing. I’m thinking of pulling the plug
Kurt: You can do that?
Marjolein: We agreed on a safeword that’ll stop this if it gets to be too much
Kurt: Oh good, that’s a relief. I’m a little frightened myself
Marjolein: I wouldn’t let anything happen to you
Leanne: It’s the dogs
Dominique: They’re coming
Kurt: We gotta run
Marjolein: Ok let’s go. We’ll try just a little further before we give up on it
