An inspiration for this song was the story of two Wisconsin girls who apparently killed themselves in a suicide pact. Arielle Daniel, 17, and Heather Bates, 14, were struck by an Amtrak train on November 12, 2005 in what was ruled a suicide, but was possibly an accident. Daniel was a huge Porcupine...
[Verse 1]
Out at the train tracks
I dream of escape
But a song comes onto my iPod
And I realize it's getting late
And I can't take the staring and the sympathy
And I don't like the questions:
"How do you feel?", "How's it going in school?"
"Do you want to talk about it?"
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Way out
Way out of here
Fade out
Fade out, vanish
[Verse 2]
And I'll try to forget you
And I know that I will
In a thousand years
Or maybe a week
I'll burn all your pictures
Cut out your face
And the shutters are down and the curtains are closed
And I've covered my tracks
Disposed of the car
And I'll try to forget even your name
And the way that you look
When you're sleeping
Dreaming of this
[Chorus]
Way out
Way out of here
Fade out
Fade out, vanish
[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo 03:30-05:41]
[Chorus]
Way out
Way out of here
Fade out
Fade out, vanish
[Instrumental Outro]
