To the Stranger in the Car

To the stranger in the car

I see you day by day sit glumly in the drivers seat

You walk out your apartment, tired

kiss that wife goodbye and sit there for hours, alone

To the stranger in that car

My mother told me tales of men with cars

How once you trusted the road you could go anywhere

To different worlds and far nations

To the stranger in the car

How lonely is your world?

To the point to where you lie about your job in order to save yourself

Or to where even your own wife is blind to your truth

To the stranger in the car

Is there a sense of doubt in that mind of yours

Will you ever move that car from this parking lot?

How long will I sit on my window as my breath fogs this stained window

To the stranger in the car

Your tears are the raindrops to that pile of ashes

Maybe one day, one day you'll rise from the ashes

Like the phoenix you are
