🎶: thoroughfare by ethel cain

you were alone. raised in a religious family who outcast you, you had desperately wanted out, so you left. your faith in god had dwindled so low, you didn't know what to do.

your first love had left you and you had no choice but to accept the loneliness and pit in your stomach that came with the loneliness.

you fall in with a new lover while you're on the run, one that inevitably gets in trouble and is arrested, leaving you alone again.

and that's when you meet her. ellie.

you meet her in a bar a little bit further west. and she offers to take you further. you fall for her almost immediately. she's charming, she's lovely.

"baby, don't run, i'll take you anywhere. do you wanna see the west with me?" she smiles.
