Lyrics:
It was problematic at best to perceive existence Through the myopic lens I embedded into myself My lack of gestures limited the effectiveness of my delivery And all she begged for was deliverance Soft, eloquent passages that provided closure Not answers, just closure I somehow fashioned together an array of broken glass And it looked enough like a vase that it would pass And she would accept it And have a way to keep her roses watered and alive again But I was broken, prized among the lackluster thieves Immune to pain, and pain by immunity She beckoned me and she lessened me Because no other love would accommodate my blindfold so easily And I was afraid to change, but I was afraid of not changing And I was afraid to change, but I was afraid of not changing A quick flood of blood infecting my brain Dashboard you, dashboard blank slate My narrow lens no longer mattered, no longer weighed in And neither did your fear, your insecurities, or your smile That moment, three seconds of uncertainty Fate circumvented the concrete dividers Followed by six seconds of nervous prayer Nervous cursing, nervous something Just as poisonous as the snake it came from The oppression presented in my lies Those godforsaken lies limited me even more Seven seconds of promising myself Promising myself that if I survived, I would stop bargaining I would stop pushing off effort in exchange for more time I would stop neglecting civil, spiritual, and personal duties Or promises, one or the other They seemed unlikely at that point Two seconds, the longest two seconds I've ever experienced Of lying to myself, lying to my God, and lying to you The words "I promise" seemed so trite, so inaccurate Sirens ended the charade and began the investigation Seated on the cold end of a wooden table I shouted, "This is who I was, but not who I am" I assured them mistakes were to be made But lessons were to be learned I always thought that's what life was Just a collection of moments intended for lessons Or a collection of lessons, looking for moments to fulfill them So foolish a passenger caught up in this accident Nothing mattered beyond the fact that I was broken And hurting and damaged physically And I praised God that I was a survivor That's when I heard the fate of the driver Three seconds later, closure Not answers, just closure Lost in the wreckage as a soul ascended, I love you Lost in the wreckage as a soul ascended, I love you And every day, I wish we could trade places Because you were the first person that loved me in any real way And now I stand six feet above where you lay And if I get one thing right in this life I pray that it'll be sharing love with everybody The same love that you shared with me You call me down here and I hear your voice And the sound of my heart breaking And I pray to God you're still awake And I taught myself how to forget that sometimes life will try to convince you there's a such thing as regret But I found it to be a lie, the same lie I found when I looked in your eyes after it was said and done Scream hallelujah until you come alive The devil came for our lungs, but he left with our love Scream hallelujah until you come alive I inhaled this world for so long that I tore out my lungs
