The weights under my eyes are heavier than they've ever been. There are pins and needles and thorns in my fingertips. There are shards of broken window panes in my feet. And I’m driving just to forget that I have no where to drive to. And I sing until my chest caves in and my jaw aches with every note. My ethics are in the backseat, and my uncertainty is riding shotgun. I've never felt so lost, but I know exactly how lost I am.

drive.
The weights under my eyes are heavier than they've ever been. There are pins and needles and thorns in my fingertips. There are shards of broken window panes in my feet. And I’m driving just to forget that I have no where to drive to. And I sing until my chest caves in and my jaw aches with every note. My ethics are in the backseat, and my uncertainty is riding shotgun. I've never felt so lost, but I know exactly how lost I am.
