I walk by moonlight
with fear of the coming daylight
feeling the pavement beneath my bare feet
smell the scent of the food at a diner where the locals eat
i keep my hands in the pockets of my baggy black pants
continuing to walk past a place where the drunks like to dance
let my mascara run and my hair get knotted
i kept my head bent as i trotted
lick the gloss that coats my lips
pull the too-big jacket tighter around my hips
i shut out memories, voices, and thoughts of all kind
i keep on walking ignoring all that i leave behind
my converse sneakers slapping against my side
as they tug at the laces i used to tie them to my bag
I'll walk 'til i cant stand, cause i finally escaped that hag
