Monsters of the Wind
by Travis Atkinson
© 2021

You best be gone and on your way
Said all goodbyes you need to say
The last few suitcases strapped down
You are fit to leave this town

Pass you in the right lane of Lakeshore Drive
Passively-aggressively avert their eyes
When you miss your exit it's the first of many times

Monsters of the wind
Alone is a long forgotten friend
Monsters of the wind
The choices decided in the end
Is where your heart begins

The nets and flowers brought inside
You make 'em laugh so you don't cry
The path you choose becomes your name
Another bleeding heart in vain

First, they take your money and your radio
Tickets and the traffic take their daily tolls
Coming for your sanity but you won't let it go

Monsters of the wind
Alone is a long forgotten friend
Monsters of the wind
The choices decided in the end
Is where your heart begins

City of strangers and dreamers
With nothing to lose
You look up and the past and the future
Is staring back at you

Monsters of the wind
Alone is a long forgotten friend
Monsters of the wind
The choices decided in the end
Is where your heart begins
