Bury Me Anywhere Else

Keeping quiet through the brake check
 When the bulls leave I'm alone again
 Got a crew change from a guy I knew in college
 I'm making new plans
 I'm catching out of Bethlehem
 Chasing trains like I'm 19 again
 I got my sights set on LA
 I'll swim in the ocean on my birthday
 Wrapped in a sleeping bag and diesel fumes
 And the sun through the Cascades
 It tells me that I'm on my goddamn way
 Took the North Line on an IM from Chicago
 Cut through the winter wheat
 Frozen breathe hangs in the dawn out over Whitefish
 And I'm half asleep
 I'll swap out in Wenatchee
 I'll ride junk down for the rest of the week
 I got my sights set on LA
 I'll swim in the ocean on my birthday
 Wrapped in a sleeping bag and diesel fumes
 And the sun through the cascades
 It tells that I'm close
 Bury me anywhere else
 I couldn't die in New Jersey
 I had to prove to myself
 That I could outrun the ghosts
 That I could someday get well
 I wasn't always a coward
 Bury me anywhere else
