Traffic Circle

this air bag is suffocating me.
all i can breathe is the sulfur.
and i don't have a witness.
it's a bitter, sweet, sweet, pyrrhic victory.
lights looking left are lights looking away.

i promise i'll drive into the distance.
your lights illuminate only exits now.

you can drive around in circles for years and years and never do justice to all of your fears.
a traffic circle.
and the ringing in your ears is the car wreck i'm trying not to escape.

this sulfur is suffocating me.

circle, circle, circle, circle, circle, circle, circle, circle, stop.
