Departing Seatac

On the first flight out, I
Downed my drink, left
Suicide City, USA

Watch the whole west rush
Away from me, how
Things slip by when
You're tipsy
Irretrievably

Those twin angels
Time and atrophy
Are perched just outside
Smiles gleaming

You
If you have any mercy
Oh, oh, oh
Then down this plane
Why don't you

You were trapped in the beatings
Your heart took
Trapped in your
High school yearbook
With an anxious look

Now you keep to
The bed you made with
Each your dearest
Runaways

While I leer out
My window seat at
Bridges burning
'neath my feet
I leave the west in flames

So so long, youth
I've got no more left
A shred of you
Left to lose

You
If you have any mercy
Oh, oh, oh
Then damn this dream
Why don't you
