A Fine Day To Exit

Out at the train tracks I dream of escape But a song comes onto my iPod And I realize it's getting late I can't take the staring and the sympathy And I don't like the questions, "How do you feel?" "How's it going in school?" "Do you wanna talk about it?" Way out, way out of here Fade out, Fade out, vanish I'll try to forget you And I know that I will In a thousand years Or maybe a week I'll burn all your pictures Cut out your face The shutters are down and the curtains are closed And I've covered my tracks Disposed of the car And I'll try to forget even your name And the way that you look when you're sleeping, And dreaming of this Way out, way out of here Fade out, Fade out, vanish

A mother sings a lullaby to a child Sometime in the future the boy goes wild And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy A walk in the woods and I will try Something under the trees that made you cry It's so erotic when your make up runs I got wiring loose inside my head I got books that I never ever read I got secrets in my garden shed I got a scar where all my urges bled I got people underneath my bed I got a place where all my dreams are dead Swim with me into your blackest eyes A few minutes with me inside my van Should be so beautiful if we can I'm feeling something taking over me Train set and match spied under the blind Shiny and contoured the railway winds And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed The hiss of the train at the railway head Always the summers are slipping away A 60 ton angel falls to the earth A pile of old metal, a radiant blur Scars in the country, the summer and her Always the summers are slipping away
