How do I exit gracefully,
how do I end it all
Can I rewrite the terms again
before the final fall
The kids now counting every day
the moments still all mine
The days and weeks of years gone by
a measure now defined
How do I finally say goodbye
and start anew again
This world peeled back against itself
no more left to befriend
Regret a word best left behind
for others who have sinned
Stepping into eternity’s vault
—last check to cash within

Y'all come from Vermont?
Why'd you move?
It's beautiful there!
"Well, don't ya know,
Ya cain't eat the veeiuw!!
