[Closer]

I gaze out the window, studying the landscape I have seen a thousand times
I think about my situation and step on the gas.

Tears well in my eyes as he crashes into my mind
I didn’t think it would hit me this hard.

The car in front of me has had its blinker on for miles,
As if the driver may take a right turn, over the edge.

Blink.Blink. Blink.

I look in the review mirror
And there’s reality… closer than it appears.
