Car Crash ending your day, at the side of the road, are you listening?
The aftermath
Of molecules moving faster than
The speed of life
Overtaking it in stride
The photograph
Showed the bodies strewn
Across the sidewalk
Of what used to be their home
Now just burning rubble
And shattered brick and bone
And we never said goodbye
You never said goodbye
Always hoped to see you
One last time
The afterglow
Of a chain reaction
Between science and cruelty
The gifts of humanity
The t.v. show
A whole hour of precious time
Dedicated to mistakes
And how they can be justified
And forgotten for what they are
A blanket for what they hope to hide
And we never said goodbye
She never said goodbye
Always hoped to see you
One last time
Call me up and say goodbye
You never would say goodbye
Unless she planned to never see that person
One last time
When will we see the world for what it is?
When you view the world
Do you see what you want to?
When you view yourself
Do you see what you ought to
Staring back with dead eyes?
We've got cracked lenses
For eyes
We've got a million miles
Between us and life
And we've got our dead man smile
With no excuse for it
When will we see the world for ourselves?
When you see the world
Do you see anything else?
When you view yourself
Do you see what you've become
Comfortable and numb?
We've got cracked lenses
For eyes
We've got a million miles
Between us and life
And with our dead man smile
We've got the perfect disguise
Just another paint-on face
God can't find you
If you become the snake
God won't mind you
So do as you please
And smile while doing it
Just another helpless case
God won't help you
If you feel you might bake
God will lie to you
So do as you please
And go to Hell for a visit
There you have it.
