Emily Axford - Evacuation

Say your prayers
Leave a note
Call a taxi

Pack a bag
Travel light
Wear comfortable shoes

And don't bring the memories
Delete and erase
They'll only hold you back
You haven't got the space
Don't use the front door
There's too many ways
To protest and fight
For the better days
But they're gone
You should be too
Call a taxi

Pack a snack
Lock the door
Turn the heat off
Make your peace
Find resolve
Wear comfortable shoes
And mourn if you need to
You can shout and curse fate
But keep moving on
Till you meet the next day
Cause endings are also beginnings you see
And dust becomes dawn if you wait patiently

Don't look back
Travel light
Wear comfortable shoes
