Walkaway

by Seven Day Diary

on Skin and Blister (1995)

I grabbed a suitcase
Venturing across a flat plain
Dried brown green and red
The colors of the earth and trees
And my heart
Pumping heart a beacon
Of my unrest without you
Shining inside me
From a distance red light flashing
Stay away from me

Can't you just walk away
Turn around and leave me alone

Sweat blurred my eyes
Fell down from the sky
In sheets of salty mystery
Formed pools where I would dive and swim
In your influence

Can't you just walk away
Turn around and leave me alone

If I should die
Before I wake on this tired landscape
If I could die
Before I wake on this tired landscape

Your restless sleeping
Shakes me out of my dreams
The window frames dreams scenery
It's rushed away trains whistling
At the sky

Can't you just walk away
Turn around and leave me alone

I wake to nightmare
I'm still beside you
I'm startled by your presence here
