Car Ride

You arrived covered in salt
You were a wound that was weeping
For someone who cut you all over

Our lives covered in smoke
By the night as you drank yourself sick
And I hung from your shoulder

You were a landslide covered in dirt
You were a car ride into the Earth
You were the last light ever to burn
You were a harsh cry, hard to be heard

Your eyelids cover the gold
Behind the glass, how they crush you
And kill you and crumble like buildings

Perched in a hole in the wall
Where lovers languish the words that were said
As they fell on their swords

Like a landslide covered in dirt
Like a car ride into the Earth
Like the last light ever to burn
You were a harsh cry, hard to be heard
You were a harsh cry, hard to be heard

I joined the people in black
To celebrate you, we covered you slowly
And cried as we did

Like a landslide covered in dirt
Like a car ride into the Earth
Like the last light ever to burn
You were a harsh cry, hard to be heard
You were a harsh cry, hard to be heard
