lyrics

An ambulance lights up the street
‘He came from nowhere, I never saw him coming’
They grip my shoulders, tell me to breathe
He’s howling and fighting like he’ll raze the city

In a second, I saw my life end
Well that’s it, it’s done, no coming back from this one
The first responders pull back my head
‘Stay grounded, stay present, state your name and where you’re at’

The self-flagellation becomes comforting
Can’t tear your eyes away from a car crash scene
Indulging my morbid curiosity
But at the end of the day I’m just tired, and sick of grief

How many blows can a psyche take
Before it decides it’s unwise for consciousness to stay
Listening to death songs and willing the mantra to stop
I’ve had enough, vicarious living has run its course

Hey Mike, I hear your best friend died
I cared for him too, my chest’s bust open wide
It’s such a shame when we’re forced to see
Reminding us of mortality
