WINDSHIELD

[Verse 1]

Although they live

They hate their fate

But I...

I hope and I pray

I hope and I pray

Escape

To take the midnight cab

I hope that you stay

I pray that you stay

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Nighttime suicide

Daytime tries to hide!

[Chorus 1]

Trust falls

Train wrecks

Unchained

Unchecked

[Verse 2]

Rainclouds

I take all my baggage and run for it

Out of the storm

Away from the storm

Suitcases break

I catch my railcar

I’m here to perform

Not here to reform

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Clouds crowd overhead

Moonlight shines instead!

[Chorus 2]

I see

I hear

I know

I fear

[Rap]

So I jumped out of my railcar

I was done being shown where the stars are

Then I walked south, lost stars to clouds, and knew I couldn't walk

It was too far

Too many scars

And then I encountered, beside road there was a black car

There was blood on the seat

Too much pain in my feet

And the headlights were masses of glass shards

I thought I'd found the key

Somebody left it there for me

I picked it up then foolishly

I started the car for all to see

I stepped on the gas and started to flee

As I drove right over a blood red tree

And as I drove I felt so free

But there was no light for me to see

You were in the air, I could feel you

The fog and the mist can't conceal you

This world I had thrown myself into

It was burnt, it was black, there was no view

Still, I drove right through

The air that surrounded me, full of you

Hit by my windshield

The demons fly in but the angels they yield

My brain and my soul and my heart they steal

The mist twisted

It said that my crimes consisted of air I resisted

My conscience was misted and rifted

The laws I abided by were inconsistent with laws that existed

I was farther away from the truth

I had drifted

But I, by the brilliant light, was unlisted

I was back where I started

You took me and carted me

Far away from all pain

I was pardoned

You lifted up my car with me

But now I was in the very back seat

You took me to the opposite peak

You let me off and started to speak

You pointed me right to the tree

I had run over previously

And then you said with certainty

That that was the only way to be free

[Chorus 3]

Loud bells

Soft songs

Farewell

So long
