about

an escape plan that I never needed to enact (thank goodness)

lyrics

smoke behind me, the night around me,
I found my way out the final closing door
every spark of myself I gave you
left my friends, but you always wanted more and more

running northward, back roads winding
you'll no longer hold me down - I'm bound for another town
pressing forward, no rewinding
not a thing left to my name, ashes steaming in the rain

I burned it all down - the life you wanted -
your picket fence was just a whitewashed cage, no home
you said we'd heal together, that this time you really meant it
but I sent it up in flames, so you can heal alone

running northward, back roads winding
not a thing left to my name, ashes steaming in the rain
miles stretch away behind me before you even know I'm gone
I'll be in Augusta by dawn
