A Car, A Torch, A Dream

It was a dream

A vivd dream

I'm driving away from this town for some reason

I should be happy right? 

I'm not
I'm driving north but every car thats driving south I envy
I wanna open the door and fall out but I remember you telling me before I leave I'll always be with you even when I'm far

It's like you gave me a piece of your heart and buckled it up into the car 

I imagine all the things going on for you and how difficult things are

What's just waiting to happen while I'm gone

Your demons are just waiting on your porch to come in and make a catastrophe
I know

That when I'm finally gone

They will make their way into your room and stay there for the night
I can feel it

I can feel them there, waiting to hurt you,

And every breath i see come out of myself doesnt feel like its me

This isn't me

This is a dream

And yet it is me

Like I'm still there in town but I'm driving away too
I wasn't made to do this

To carry these burdens 

It's at least a day after I've left

I've been driving all night

I waited for morning

I look in the backseat and see a jar inside its your heart
You left it for me

 

I wake up
