Burning Something Purer Into My Brain

No longer stuck in nightfall I drove the road that led me To a place of hope A realm of memories and fascination Under the light of a cloudy sun No longer dark and shining I see it for what it truly Represents in this world A tiny town that's left forgotten Hiding from sight No longer imprisoned with you I can finally light a match and Burn a purer thought Cover over all the tattoos That you scored in my gray matter Drowning on a metal beach Universes away, I'm safe and Changing it all to An uncanny town that time's forgotten And left to float away with all the corpses No longer stuck in twilight Or stringing memories to you This quiet country road Can breathe again without my ghost now An oppressive specter that left me searching eastward "You go to sleep," I said "And I will be there when you wake up."
