Hidden in the trees
But there for all to see
A body at your feet
All eyes on me
Numb, at the driver seat
Too in shock to leave
A tepid troglodyte waits
What seems an eternity
I don't remember much of
The drive home asleep
My head tight on the windshield
Finally at peace
You cut me out
When I needed you most
Any hurt a thousand-fold
And I hope you see
And I hope you care
That despite all of this
I'm going nowhere
How could I
be saved this time?
Atop the Virgin Mary
I swear it's arbitrary
for you
And all the things that were said about me...
Didn't you all know how I was dying...
Thrown to the curb and I swore
I swore I'd fix it up again
But stubbornness can't be forced away
Then until now I escaped
Immune to the whole human race
but you
cut me out
When I needed you most
Any hurt a thousand-fold
And I hope you see
And I hope you care
That despite all of this
I'm going nowhere
It's fucking crazy I know
He valued your life over mine
And when you pushed him away
Well there was nothing left inside
And now he's died
With his heart melted in his hands
In a purée of flesh and blood
He met his end
You cut him out
when he needed you most
There's blood on the curb and more on the road
I know you think you're rounded
But he's made you corner again.
I know you think you're rounded
Well think again
