New

The world’s passing me by,

Green trees and endless sky.

The train rocks back to and fro

Through the sun and snow.

Night falls and it grows still,

My eyes close against my will.

The city lights blur my sight

Against my lids they burn so bright.

Morning breaks as I awake

I’m not nervous, what’s at stake?

Bland food comes

My mind runs.

I’m running away from this life,

Drugs, parties, sex and a knife,

I’m trying to be a blank slate,

Maybe I’ll do better in this state.

The concrete rises from the ground,

All of a sudden there’s the sound

Of screeching metal and city news,

Got to get rid of the country blues.

I get out, look at this place,

All of the people of every race.

This new place isn’t for a softy,

But it’s the city of dreams lofty.

I’m just another face in the crowd,

It’s amazing here, colorful and loud.

I’ll find my way here somehow,

I’m not that worried right now.

I’m running away from this life,

Drugs, parties, sex and a knife,

I’m trying to be a blank slate,

Maybe I’ll do better in this state.

I’ve been here now a year,

Haven’t shed a single tear,

Haven’t slept around since I was high,

Late last year, left high and dry.

The joints have been left alone,

The shots are on their own.

The one night stands can go to hell,

I am doing pretty well

On my own.

The past still haunts me,

Reminders of who I used to be:

The wild, crazy, stupid girl

Who’d steal a car to take a whirl.

I’m running away from this life,

Drugs, parties, sex and a knife,

I’m trying
