Whiplash

Late night

I try to focus on the blurred lights, neon signs and my hands are freezing

Snow blind with my head down with the wind in my eyes

This icy road stares back

Thereʼs only so much hope when every place I go reminds me Iʼll never get back home

But thereʼs no time

I look up into headlights

The screeching tires seem to call my name

I deserve this

Itʼs all true

Iʼm burning up

Everything you said hit me like a car wreck

Face down on the cold ground, slipping away as the past comes back

Iʼm face down on the cold ground, slipping away as it fades to black

Whiplash

A thousand thoughts converge on impact, a cry for help

But thereʼs no one left and the silence wins again

Iʼm barely breathing as they call my name

In the pouring rain I never felt like that

You said you felt the same

Canʼt spend another day here

I keep looking back as youʼre looking away

Iʼm no better than bad luck, walk away while you can

Turn the page then nail the book shut

Just walk away while you can
