about

Steve Count, my regular bass player, came up with the bass riff at the top of the song and I loved it. So, I built the song around that and enlisted Kevin Mackall to help me with the lyrics. Tim Hatfield helped too. For me it became about me leaving the negative voice in my head, which has been a constant source of chatter for most of my life and I just decided to walk away from it. Finally...

lyrics

I’m running in the rain
With a suitcase full of pain
Trying to catch the next train outta here

Seems no matter what I do
I get soaked through and through
By the storm that is you, let me be clear

I’m gone, so long

I’m saying all my prayers
Crawling out of your despair
I’ve had my share of sorrow now it’s time

To break up your machine
It’s absurd, it’s obscene
And pronounce myself the queen of what is mine

I’m gone, so long

You’re addictive desperation
Your appetite for fear
You will see my red tail lights
I’m a headlight smashing deer

There will be no long goodbyes,
Just the space where I have cried
In the emptiness you'll find
A whispering wind.

Believe me when I say
At the end of the day
I can’t afford to play
and have you win
