[intro]
Bless the fault line, bless the bend
Lord let the ending catch me clean
No long fade, no soft breath to defend
Just a flash in between the scenes

[verse 1]
Falling for gravity's grin
A slow bleed, a slow spin
Each and every breath a smaller sin
Every sunrise wearing thin

Still, I pray, quiet and polite,
For the lightning with good aim tonight

[pre-chorus]
Watch me leap into the gray
Light the fuse and find me halfway

Can’t crawl through the years again
This body’s a lease I can’t defend
If mercy comes in metal and flame
I’ll call it by it proper name

[chorus]
Give me the slipstream, the sudden end
A holy arrow, I can’t amend
Don’t want to rot by degrees and pretend
Just a clean exit
Amen

[verse 2]
Born running from the long slow fade
Time’s the debt I never paid
Mirrors crack everywhere I've stayed
Truth’s the blade of glass I made

The grave hums my secret wish
A quiet pact, a whispered hiss
When I go, let it be art
A spark, a pulse, a missing part

[bridge]
Don’t mourn me too mild
Don’t paint me too kind
I’m just bored of this crawl
God's cruel design

[final chorus]
Give me the slipstream, the sudden end
A holy error, I can’t amend
Don’t want to rot by degrees and pretend
Just a clean exit
Amen

[outro]
Amen, amen, amen
Amen, till the silence answers back

Clean Exit

Very little is ever just one thing...

--BEWARE--
Unearned Wisdom
-and-
Smiling Glad-Hands

Clean Exit
