Amnesia Hero

Scrambling for the phone

Screaming to a dial tone

Couldn't get 3 digits down

Before i had you out the door

I know your shaking

But the gas pedal is shackled to the floor

And in the back seat

Fluttered poems of you imperfected

With stab wounds inflicted by

By the malicious intent of therapeutic inkfilled utensils

Your lips trapped shut by the webs that you've spun

Don't speak to me as if the blindfold

Around your head were a halo

Your apologies are bandaids for a hemophiliac

Your eye's see not where we venture

Nor the smile that this brings me

You're imprisoned in a constant state of tension

This morning i was as calm as a sheriff in a ghost town

But thats what happens when you cope with death

It's not warm enough for your heart to thaw out

And i don't think it ever will be

But i swear to god this will all be over soon

The red light up ahead serves

As a warning solely to those who wish to live

Just the fact that i removed all the airbags shows

That my intentions are strong willed

And it's strange how tomorrow's diamonds in the street

Will be this evenings razors across your face

When they find us they'll see your lipstick smeared

And rivers of mascara descending down your mangled cheeks

Did you ever think a windshield

Would be the last thing that you kissed

Whats the deal with all the airline food?

I'll rid the world of you

But to survive and not recall the deed

I'm about to do would be worse than death itself

I'd let you finally point the finger at yourself

If i had kept the keys for the handcuffs

Good bye

My life's not worth as

Much as your death
