Car Radio

Turn the radio on

Just loud enough

to drown out the quiet

Keep it down, down,

down to a murmur,

a mumble, a whisper.

Like a foreign language,

Words my ears don't recognize

Just enough to drown out my own thoughts

Blank static filling the air,

traveling down the endless stretch of road,

Spreading throughout the darkness.

Darkness my headlights barely cut through

The fog's so thick, it feels like I'm suffocating -

like I'm the only one left alive in this world.

Then that car radio.

That car radio brings

me back to where I am and where I want to be.

Keep it on, just enough to forget where I am

Keep it on, just enough to blend with the wind

Keep it on, just enough.
