Highway 45

from Road To Wilderness by Britt Kusserow

/

about

The beautiful, wooded drive from Bloomington, IN, to Muncie, IN offers lots of time for self-loathing and reflection.

lyrics

Now the sun awakes
But I can't see for morning fog.
Home I'll ride my brakes.
Autumn's here, I'm not. Autumn's here I'm not.

I stayed hours ago
in blooming woods, off 45.
By a winding road.
It's cold and I will hitchhike.
I am guilty this time.

Only not the way you'd think.
'Cause I've banished hearts so low.
And a vision just won't sink.
Of a single man, looking for a place to go.
As I looked at him and said 'you're no one that I know.'

That itself is false.
But I can't see, for mourning him.
Haven't slept at all.
I think I can outrun my sin, think I can outrun my sin.

He swallows pills and drinks.
I swallow my apology.
This no one that I know,
I didn't get that he is me. This time I am guilty.
