#saferintheforest

He packed up, took 75 northbound to a brand new life and Waved goodbye to the world in the rearview mirror Saw it clearer in hindsight The shape of its skyline traced in a flame from the windows ablaze The people restless and the streetlights glowing like Many beacons in the sea or like a lantern lit For the ones still lost out in the dead of the night Like lightning striking darkness once, no thunder, no pain Settled in that still forest like another phantom Or another shadow cast by choice A noiseless chorus blows through the leaves and trees And brings a peace at last From a place where the song kept changing Just when he was starting to get it. When he was starting to trust. There'd be a day He'd find a way to keep the rust at-bay There'd be a day he'd find a hum to help him muffle the past Like thunder underwater, he hears it fading And feels no pain at all

last snowfall left splinters, some winters never end; neither wane or ware, and sunshine is like lovers, some summers just pretend; only warm the air, it's that I'm tired of the feeling here, it's to near too death, it's too jobless year round; it's not the weather in the city or the highway moan, not the streets or the buildings neither wooden nor stone; every reason to leave this place behind, why i should be alone, are made of flesh and bone.
