Stray From The Path - Amnesia Hero lyrics

rate me

<div class="showResultLinks">Scrambling for the phone<br />

Screaming to a dial tone<br />

Couldn't get 3 digits down<br />

Before I had you out the door<br />

I know your shaking<br />

But the gas pedal is shackled to the floor<br />

And in the back seat<br />

Fluttered poems of you imperfected<br />

With stab wounds inflicted by<br />

By the malicious intent of therapeutic inkfilled utensils<br />

Your lips trapped shut by the webs that you've spun<br />

Don't speak to me as if the blindfold<br />

Around your head were a halo<br />

Your apologies are bandaids for a hemophiliac<br />

Your eye's see not where we venture<br />

Nor the smile that this brings me<br />

You're imprisoned in a constant state of tension<br />

This morning I was as calm as a sheriff in a ghost town<br />

But that's what happens when you cope with death<br />

It's not warm enough for your heart to thaw out<br />

And I don't think it ever will be<br />

But I swear to god this will all be over soon<br />

The red light up ahead serves<br />

As a warning solely to those who wish to live<br />

Just the fact that I removed all the airbags shows<br />

That my intentions are strong willed<br />

And it's strange how tomorrow's diamonds in the street<br />

Will be this evenings razors across your face<br />

When they find us they'll see your lipstick smeared<br />

And rivers of mascara descending down your mangled cheeks<br />

Did you ever think a windshield<br />

Would be the last thing that you kissed<br />

What's the deal with all the airline food?<br />

I'll rid the world of you<br />

But to survive and not recall the deed<br />

I'm about to do would be worse than death itself<br />

I'd let you finally point the finger at yourself<br />

If I had kept the keys for the handcuffs<br />

Good bye<br />

My life's not worth as<br />

Much as your death</
