hour five of driving and my head is held askew
every time i cross the roadside it always feels a bit too soon
not a single thought inside me that isn't burned with self-abuse
and if i couldn't even help myself i wonder what's the use
windows echo phonemes out towards our point of view
watch them falling on the outer roads all beaten black and blue
i could talk you deaf for hours, god i’d give my world to you
so remember, all i wanna dois to see you riding off the other way and drifting out of view
sometimes i beat myself to death over a pastime
i keep a bullet with my name against my head
from fourth to fifth i feel the seatbelt crush my insides
and wonder how it’s gonna feel when i ammmmmmmmmmmmmmm
baby, do i know what it's like to fear
just living for the day you can disappear
'cause dammit, anywhere's better off than here
but i don’t think you know what it’s like to die
to see the sparkle fade from inside your eye
so if it’s up to me you won’t learn this time
wheels slide on pavement, down a road i’ve never known
i dragged a knife upon my everything
and carved the meat to bone
i wanna cut myself to pieces, rend myself with sticks and stone
but if i kill myself tomorrow, i wouldn't h--ave the chance to know
sitting down in silence, i approach the speed of sound
all my ignorance made manifest like raindrops falling down
peel my body off the pavement, set in concrete, common ground
"whats the point in loving anything if you won't be around?"
awful thoughts might break me, so i simply stare in awe
all the tensions hit a fever pitch, and then the chord resolves
on the outside of myself, a eulogy and constant pall
my companion staring down the edge and wishing she could fall
what the hell is wrong with me, i spit towards the light
i can't hear the words i wanna hear if i let go of life
so i sit and watch in silence with my heart and appetite
knowing all that i could ever want(all i wanna do is to do you right)
BABY, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANNA HEAR?
'CAUSE YOU CAN SAY THE WORD, MAKE IT ALL SO CLEAR
OR YOU CAN SIT AROUND, WATCH IT DISAPPEAR
SO DARLING, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANNA SAY?
IT ONLY TAKES AN INSTANT TO SLIP AWAY
BUT IF YOU GRAB A HOLD, LET THE MESSAGE PLAY
i'm not scared of dying i'm just scared of running dry
i wanna save myself from sorrow
thinking pain is justified
and if i leave this mortal coil i deserve to feel some pride
i don't want to die tomorrow
i wanna live my fucking life, i want to fly
I DON'T WANNA DIE
drop on out the atmosphere, we'll dance the night away
you've got far too many colors for some hopeless shade of grey
where the clouds that block the sun out never seem to overstay
find the northern star and navigate
grab that wheel and break away
hour nine of driving and i'm hopelessly askew
every time i greet the cliffside, i never seem to follow through
so when i turn myself around, i hope i'm facing
you
