Alone In The Light

from neon fakes by the garages

i just want to walk away
leave it all behind somehow
but the glare of a backdraft
leaves an afterimage now
the vision of a burning field
is something i could do without
but it’s the fall of my friend
that i cannot disavow

i just want to walk away
ease the weight off me somehow
but the glare of a backdraft
clouds my judgement now
the seasons come and go so quick
seems like i’m the one that’s slowing down
things are bigger than when i came in
and i’m smaller for the crowd

i just want to walk away
try to just move on somehow
but the glare of a backdraft
haunts my vision now
these days it’s easier to sleep
but some nights memories come back
turns out no amount of stars
is bright enough to cleanse your past

and i’m alone
in the light
i’m running home
