Lying awake under pictures / I see in my mind I am trying so hard just to breathe / and start to heal / everything’s spiraling out of control / the blood rush is hot / and my heart’s growing colder this year / hasn’t been the best for me / what I once thought / was the light at the end of the tunnel / in the headlights of an oncoming car / I watched everything fall apart / in the headlights of an oncoming car / I watched everything fall apart / memorized patterns and whispers / trees line the sides of my mind / and the colors are vibrant / and death’s so enticing / I feel like I’m falling down fists first / holding me close in a gentle embrace / I would strike then / on the face of this giant / and my life then / flashes before my eyes / like a silent film / and the text slides are all full of lies / in the headlights of an oncoming car/ I watched everything fall apart / in the headlights of an oncoming car I watched everything / in the head lights of an oncoming car / I watched everything fall apart / and my mind strung / like a broken guitar / with my silver tongue / won’t get me very far / and I’ve tried so hard for this / all of it / and now I’m falling / I’m falling apart / in the headlights of an oncoming car / I watched everything fall apart / fall apart / and though I tried so goddamn hard / I watched everything / in the headlights / in the headlights / in the headlights / in the head lights / in the headlights of an oncoming car I watched everything fall apart
