[Intro]
He told her on his way out of the door in these exact words
I'm off to work for now honey, but listen because this fact burns, I dreamt of your demise in a dream I had last night
And now I've seen with my own eyes that you're my key to loving life, I know a premonition's not a demolition crew, and no religion can compare to the faith that I place in you
Just be safe and don't worry, we'll both try to laugh it off
I still can't believe that we ever crossed paths at all
[Verse 1]
He kisses her goodbye and contemplates her on his drive
Wishing to stop the time and pause this single frame of life
But deprived of the right, he takes his mind to a lighter matter
Swallow all of his thoughts just to fake the fineness after
He's a pro actor when his boat rows backwards
But he's got confidence investing in a girl with no backers
He always chanted in his mind, "This girl I'm blessed with is divine," voice just short of a chime, she glows sort of like a heavenly light, there life's a play and she illuminates the stage
But her absence forecasts him pa**iveness and grey
He thinks, "Why do I deserve to have you planted here?"
Eyes filled with tears, I'll never take you for granted dear
And as nostalgia crossed his mind he lost his pace of breath
This thought may be his last as he laughs in the face of d**h
Just as he begins to resume the present
He stomps the break to dam his life force from seeping down the crevice
[Verse 2]
But it's too late to break, the application of which
Would protect his fate in any situation but this
As his car's caught ramming through the back of a truck
A halo hovers over his head, graced today by lady luck
But nonetheless he can't suppress the loss of consciousness
The brevity of d**h had just made a threat to conquer him
Contrarily to one's common sense, his eyes opened wide
Placed in silence on the hospital bed he cried
Cause when he pried his thighs he spied by his side his wife elated, only words she could muster were, "I'm so glad you made it," a man in white beside her tried to hide a face of pain, he said, "Your knees are shattered badly, they'll need to be amputated"
[Verse 3]
Amputation? I never thought I'd face the day when
Heaven's raised arrangement felt placed under the basement
I think I'm still in a daze cause much to my amazement
I heard my wife say, "Our life's in disarray, but it's okay. It's
Just a stage in our life, and on the other side, a phase lies bright enough to wade through summer nights with only
One eye open, and I'm hoping you believe me
The potion for my loneliness will mold upon your leaving"
She presents to me how relentlessly committed she is
But while I'm permanently bound to sit, she glistens in bliss
It seems nothing amiss, but my blistering wish
Is to grip her lip to lip on her business trips
Private relations, she amusedly names them
Refusing succumbing to interrogations
Only states, "A surprise is on the way," I hope she chose a numbing agent, to dumb my sage of her adulterous ways
[Verse 4]
Now he's emaciated, wasting away on a daily basis
By traits of faithless plays, saved behavior in accumulation
True to nature, she was truly jaded
He's an indentured servant within his body deserving of but without payment, losing patience, he's brooding over the pages
Of his life's mistakes, protruding rays of enragement, it's a fight he'll face, cause it's do or die time, he's engaging in the latter
Bruised and battered, suicide concludes this pattern
He proceeds to think aloud, "Now even hell is mocking me
Are these thoughts caused by Satan or self-fulfilling prophecy?" He's a nuisance to his wife, her happiness is fundamental, soon he drew a gun in lunacy and glued it to his temple
[Verse 5]
To whom it may concern: "An escape's a place I yearn for
When all the tables turn, my pride's become as fake as fur
You always told me I'd never be superseded
Now I'm pleading with self-doubt to quit beating and screaming at reason, teeming with squeamish treasonous trains of thought, feeding me these heated needles, preceded relational rot, facing replacement, the lost of love is irreversible
As hurt pulls, fraying past the core of emotion torn
You think complacency alleviates the pain you leave?
I'm chasing traces of myself, hell and earth are in adjacency
A reformation enacted by propagation of my thoughts
Scatterbrained as my head's remains readily graze the pavement, step into my gaze, one last time to take away depression and pain, the pressure to take, making me a mess
Left to decay, and you don't really seem to care"
In a last-ditch effort, the gun fires in his final prayer
[Verse 6]
She nears their house, bearing gifts of true mobility
Unbeknownst to her tears and shouts amounting to a hill of beans, part three in the trilogy, pain withstands the pills he eats
A putrid scene invites her in to loop within a losing streak
Soliloquy transcribed, differences reconciled
Finalized, she argues, once it's certified in afterlife
The mental shock, overwhelming from the spectacle
To herself an indebted fool, emotional perception left her
Suspicion crumbles the foundation of love's commitment
A portrait of simplest pleasures deformed by some sinful wishes, now she's got no pot to piss in and casting help into a fishless pond, longing for the comfort that vanished to where her lover's gone
[Outro]
"I envisioned us together, living a life of luxury
Our love's a tree, and it can't seem to branch beyond the shrubbery that blockades the sun's rays, I hoped and prayed that some way you'd understand true love can never fade away in one day, let's reminisce of the past, escaping up the heavenly tracks," self-erasing by a shot fired fast
Next to her deceased lover, the casings had crossed paths
