Thankless night
Spent the last of my
Money on my failed transmission
This and last month's water bill
Minimum payment on three credit cards
But shit, money is nothing
I've been unhappy so long-

The moon is really gleaming tonight
Like, I don't think I have seen it
This damn bright in years

The road is clear and the view
Is beautiful
So fucking beautiful
When I drive over the pavement markers
It kind of sounds like a train
Rattling over tracks
Sounds like I managed to
Catch the last train home
And then I let my car derail...
I went grocery shopping with my mom, and when I was making the turn to go home, I heard the car clacking over those markers. Is that the last sound someone hears?
