Look out your window, gone to your right,
Just watching a sunrise rest until night.

Wear your sleeves.
Your scars whisper crashed waves and silhouettes.

Got your ticket,
Packed all your things.
Where are you going dear?
Hell has wings.

Now take the next mountain,
watch your life pass to the left.
You're traveling for an easy getaway,
Hoping someone will accept you as a train wreck.

I don't understand why people try and take the easy way out and run,life doesn't give you more then you can handle.
