Smoke in the Rear View

Let it all burn, my dumpster fire
as I speed away
tires spinning gravel and skidding
over asphalt

Cleanse my life in purifying fire
crash and burn
annihilate the toxicity I survived
driving fast

They can’t catch me now, not ever
I’m flying
it’s all ashes, and dark, dusky smoke
in the rear view
