Forced March

My words are so unkind
Your lips are trembling, I can see them
Forming silent words as my
My hands are shaking, I
I never wanted to destroy you
Not before I had destroyed myself

You never knew the score
You never even had to notice
You were so far in the lead
Too good at carrying
All of the burdens that I placed upon
Your tiny little frame, my love

I drove for miles of this
Miles and miles of this
I drove for miles of this
Miles and miles for this

And I feel ashamed
Every time I see your face
And I never told you
But I don't believe in love anymore
Just an endless race

My blood is on your hands
I cut myself with the knife you gave me
To begin again and my
My words are out of time
Out of a place so indescribable
You'll never understand
All of the hours I spent
Watching our life bleed out all too slowly
As it passes through my trembling hands

I drove for miles of this
Miles and miles of this
I drove for miles of this
Miles and miles for this
