Don't Look Back - Kasey Anderson

Somebody said State Street’s covered in ashes

I didn’t ask for a name, I knew it was you

In your bulletproof grin and your false eyelashes

You took a handful of blood and you painted the sidewalk blue

And they said, they said

You were out there raising the dead

But it looks like you covered up most of your tracks

They’re sure they’ll find

Something you left behind

But I know you a little better than that

You don’t look back

I remember all the rules that you taught me

You said, «step right boy, this city’s just a game»

And «stick to the sidestreets, you’ll never get caught

But you left me on the boulevard, cold and screaming out your name

And you said, you said

The sky was spitting out red

But I just saw a couple shades of black

You moved like smoke

Left me holding your coat

And I know, wherever you’re at

You don’t look back

I heard your hair’s a different color

That don’t change how you look in the back of my mind

The older I get, the more I discover

You stare into the dark long enough

Something’s bound to shine

And I said, I said

You left me for dead

But there was never any truth to that

I could breathe just fine

We both know damn well once you start lying to yourself

You’re trapped

And you don’t look back
