As I am planning out a path to escape,
panicking, I scan for windows without a screen.
I have had a fear of restaurants since I was eight
because in my head I still hear the adults scream.

Panicking, I scan for windows without a screen.
I am trying to run through the people in my way
because in my head I still hear the adults scream.
Today is my twenty-third birthday.

I tried to run through the people in my way,
when the man my parents called Tony was shot.
Today is my twenty third birthday
and I jump when the wine bottle pops.

When the man my parents called Tony was shot
a red circle spread across the table cloth.
And I jumped when the wine bottle popped.
All the doors but one were locked.

A red circle spreads across the tablecloth
because of a spilt bottle of wine.
All doors but one were locked
And the adults walked out in single file.

Because of a spilt bottle of wine,
I have been scared of restaurants since I was eight.
And the adults are walking out in single file,
as I am planning out a path of escape.
