The Way To Go

The road follows me Pushes me from behind It’s finger in my ass. I see the orange melting to black My horizon shooting out yellow rays Showing me the path Where to go next Nothing around me Just some broken matches, broken cigarettes and broken dreams. Left my possessions, my image Their expectations behind me. I could throw my wallet out the window right now Pay for the trip with my heart A heart of gold and a spirit of steel My properties, possessions for the rest of my life Show me the road. It’s got an honest face Nothing to hide. I see a reflection of death. It mocks and entices me Alluring and antagonizing. An accident in the ditch is there for everyone to see. Stare deep and hard. Feel how close the destruction is How it taunts you. Taste it, let it flavor your life. Don’t fear it. The darkness of the road Embraced by the night. My car hugs the road Loving it, knowing the curves. I barely touch the wheel. I just let it glide along. Going my way. The way of my heart. Nothing to stop me now. Whether the ride ends in The ditch, in paradise, or where my wallet lies. The truth is before me. Black as night. Fate putting it’s finger in my ass Pushing me forward.
