As I Sit In My Car

As I sit in my car Reclined in my seat Doors locked, lights dimmed My four wheel retreat Nestled in darkness Just breathing for sound I duck from their headlights I don't want to be found This is my think-tank My safe room, my cave Where I go to escape you Where I come to be saved I think about things I think about you All my sins and my secrets Am I brave or a fool And when unaccounted Someone's looking for me I'll put my seat upright Push the start key I'll drive to my burdens Park a little too far And inhale that last moment As I sit in my car
