Grasping at straws
Gasping for air
I never took myself as the type to flee
But flee I did and now I'm walking against the wind
Thumb casting darkness against the headlights
Until I see a car like the one you used to own
Shove my fist in my pocket
And convince myself it's better this way
Left maliable by the thought of you
Images carousel above all else
Urgent Donner party decision made
Can't stand to sit here in my own flesh
Ashes fill these lungs
Always on the lam
A burden
A leech
Joy sucked from the room
My future is bronze
Exhale paint, fill the canvas
Leaving images unrecognizable
