Crashing Cars
Crashing Cars

Absorbing the aftermath of this dashboard story
This last car crash our attendance mandatory
The funeral awaits as the past is laid to waste
Every love embrace now leaves a bitter taste
Ambulance chaser off to the next catastrophe
The sirens SOS replaying patterns he’ll never see
I’ll repair my broken legs and simply walk away
She will lead the way, but he will never stray
It started with a kiss with promises of bliss
We drove for that cliff impossible to miss
Why was I surprised I saw your last crash
You loved me before that car burned to ash
You think you’re a fearless adrenaline junkie
But I see the soft landing beneath the debris
You won’t crash alone or burn on your own
So you leave behind your lies made of stone
Crash down on me memories from the sea
That hollowed this valley where I can be free
I’ll shine through the darkness back into the flames
Despite all the pain, I’ll still remember your name
