Crash

It came – as you dreamt about your dream
Of a time not long ago
And you knew all that you know
And it was easy

You saw – things are not just as they seem
When you close the world around you
And the lies all felt so true and nothing mattered
Cause the life that you had made
Had grey of every shade but no one noticed
Like the damage from the termites
Stays hidden from the sunlight – until the fall

And then – their angel faces cried
They uncovered all the dirt
As your hands delivered hurt
The love was jaded
Escaping from the scene
With a rusted limousine in misted darkness
No return address could ever fix the mess of the lives you traded

You wake from the nightmare of your choices
You want to go back home but the signal on the phone is always busy
You show up at the door afraid of all the horror of your past
You hesitate to knock – awaiting the unlocking of emotion

You turn – cause you don't think you can face them
To tell them that you're sorry
This never was the story that you wanted told
You couldn't see it coming
When the lights were all so blinding and you lost control
You haven't slept an hour
Reviewing all the details of the day they died
You didn't mean to do it
You didn't mean to do it did you?
You didn't mean to do it
You didn't mean to do it did you?
You didn't mean to do it
You didn't mean to do it
You didn't mean to do it
You didn't mean to do it
