The crash that got me freedom…

{slow tempo, single

clean electric guitar, fingerpicked notes,

intimate vocal, tape hum,

vinyl crackle, atmospheric background

pads}

The glass is shattered on the cold highway

You held the wheel but had nothing left to say

Months of your quiet fire burning down my youth

Now the broken windshield is reflecting the truth

(Ahhhh) {crying guitar solo underneath vocal}

And the sirens scream in the heavy air

For the first time,

I don't feel the fear

Step out of the wreckage,

let the cold rain fall

I'm walking away from the weight of it all

Your voice is calling but it's fading behind

The tangled metal that held my mind

No more apology, no more walking on glass

This highway breakdown is my freedom at last {guitars wash out with

analog delay} Free

now (so

free) Under the open sky

No more running

back to

you

{guitars fade into feedback

and vinyl static}
