Asphalt Ghost

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain hits the strip mall glass
Watching the minutes pass
Engine’s idling low
Nowhere left to go
Crumpled receipt on the floor
I can’t take it anymore
Your apology is trash
Like a head-on crash
[Pre-Chorus]
My cheeks are burning red
From every word you said
I’m seventeen and screaming
But I must be dreaming
‘Cause no one sees me here
In this atmosphere
[Chorus]
I’m outgrowing you
And it hurts like hell
Break the silence now
With a guttural yell
You were my ride or die
Now it’s just a lie
Watch me speed away
Into the gray
[Post-Chorus]
I’m gone
I’m gone
I’m finally moving on
I’m gone
I’m gone
Right where I belong
[Break]
[Verse]
Chipped black paint on my thumb
Feeling cold and numb
Remember that bonfire night
Under the pale moonlight
You swore we’d never change
Now you’re acting strange
Just a shadow in the rain
Feeding on my pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m seventeen and invisible
Your behavior is typical
This sharp disorientation
Is my only salvation
No one sees the fire
On this telephone wire
[Chorus]
I’m outgrowing you
And it hurts like hell
Break the silence now
With a guttural yell
You were my ride or die
Now it’s just a lie
Watch me speed away
Into the gray
[Bridge]
Stereo cranked to ten
Never going back again
I’m not your little girl
In your little world
I’m a riot, I’m a wreck
With your hands around my neck
I’m breaking every chain
In this pouring rain
[Verse]
The wipers can't keep up
With the tears in my cup
I thought I’d die for you
That’s a bitter view
Now I’m just dying to leave
Nothing left to believe
In this parking lot grave
There’s nothing left to save
[Chorus]
I’m outgrowing you
And it hurts like hell
Break the silence now
With a guttural yell
You were my ride or die
Now it’s just a lie
Watch me speed away
Into the gray
[Post-Chorus]
I’m gone
I’m gone
I’m finally moving on
I’m gone
I’m gone
Right where I belong
[Outro]
