“You take the wheel, I'll check the map.” Okay, I think that we’re on track. I’m never quite sure where we’re at. Exits streaking past the window glass. I use the signals as we pass. “How long is this trip gonna last?” “Until we both run out of gas.” And my mouth’s a graveyard. And my brain is a broken wreck. And my body is my body is my body is a melted candle, I can’t forget. And I can’t get over. And my fear keeps my heart in check. And my body is my body is my body is a stranger. Mile markers pile up behind. I close my eyes, pretend I’m blind and drift off to the other side. “Is this a dream, am I alive?” And my mouth’s a graveyard. And my brain is a broken wreck. And my body is my body is my body is a melted candle, I can’t forget. And I can’t get over. And my fear keeps my heart in check. And my body is my body is my body is a stranger I haven’t met. You can’t be wrong a hundred percent of the time, but I can try. Get out alive a hundred percent of the time until you die. Everything is a mistake. Everything was a mistake.
