Ex-Spy

I’m only going one ocean away
Is that far enough?
Will they follow me there?

All of it’s crystalline clear in my mind
My new name, new clothes
A job in an office

I can’t handle the bullets anymore
I left to save me
I won’t die on their terms

The voice in my head tells me something’s wrong
Did they let me go?
It can’t be this easy

But the victory of my escape tastes real
At least for now
there’s safety in distance
