Lanky T - Crossed Paths lyrics

[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 Next to her deceased lover, the casings had crossed paths
