slip out of focus into a blur
turning corners without looking
leaving without a trace
finding my divinity in a suitcase
bus station transfer no deposit
how far can I go without stopping
looking past the rusted bloody scenery
into the heart and soul of where I've been
with you tagging along like a dog
running too keep up now
trying to appease my anger
with your constant licking
while I refuse to shed a single tear
I'd cut my throat before I'll give in to self-pity
and the damn winter never ends here
with its cold eyes watching me
waiting for me to fall through the ice
eat me alive and spit back my bones
on a nice summer afternoon
when flatlanders are having a barbeque
no, I won't satisfy you that way
cautious of your cruel intentions
I'll sell of my possessions and fly off to warmer climes
for I'd be giving up next to nothing
