lyrics

I couldn't see much ahead of me. I was too distracted by the earth. the trees, the evergreens and everything that wasn't me. The car began to sputter. Traction on the wheels gave way to icy broken concrete, cracked and caving in. I knew that this would happen, yet I still went driving knowing desperately I'd crash and burn so far away from the exit that I knew would take me home. I never thought I'd make it anyway. I made my choice, I flipped the car. Is everyone ok with that? I left without a single bag packed. I didn't think about the future but circling the past was torture.

I lingered for a while, catching my breath beside a phone booth. The dinosaur of a future long forgotten in the past. I struggled holding on to what I had, my patience growing thin with every drive you took away from me to somewhere that I couldn't see. You left. I wasn't going to wait for less. You didn't think about the future and waiting for you felt like torture.

Now you're dying underneath a frozen sky. You could've been ok if you had tried. You forgot about the comfort in the phone booth you traded in just for a bluetooth. And now your car is broken, you are stuck between two places that have given up waiting on you to come back home. You dug this grave, you built this hole.

You used to smile when I spoke and now you're laughing as I choke. I just can't breathe, my lung's collapsing, crushing weight from my own actions. I never thought I'd be this wasted, I never thought I'd feel this pain. I took the world for granted.
