Broken Yolk in Western Sky

Broken yolk in western sky My stomach turned, my mouth went dry And I knew I'd never know fear before I pressed my palms into the seat And with one last look at you next to me I kicked open the sliding door And I threw myself out on the road Torn flesh and broken bones And in the shoulder's patchy grass I faded into your past I know it was a cowardly thing to do And that an explanation is not an excuse I just need you to understand My love is like some kind of greed Of equal portions 'want' and 'need' And I cannot divorce the two I could not sleep at all With all the rumble strip close calls And in the gravel and scattered trash I faded into your past When you think twice you arrive at the same conclusion And it's bad advice only if you use it And then you disappeared from view And you became somebody new Near the exit's overpass I faded into your past
