Far Away

I need a cleansing rain
to wash this filth away
but this sickly summer heat
is here to stay
oh god
I don't want to be here
anymore
someone please remind me
who I'm lingering for
a dirty stain
on this tired place
I want to run away
and hide my sorry face
please
don't come after me
you see
these streets, retraced
they reek of emptiness
yet still
I know this broken town I'll miss
I don't know where I'm going
but I know I cannot stay
so I'm leaving
going
gone
...
I'm running
far away
