Speed Limit
Offered her a pill and now she yelling
Took her from the hills, now we rolling
Probably get her killed by the morning
Pedal to the motherfucking floor, man
Full acceleration, hear me roaring…
~*~
Driving fast, breaking traffic lights, think I’m going insane
Changing gears endlessly but never changing to the right lane
Right hand on the left end, strap yourself and swallow your tongue
The wrong turn makes my eyes spin like oxy, are you having fun?
Worrying slow, think I’m crashing on windshields and pedestrians
Changing my mind again but it’s too late, and everything’s gone
Right now I’m left behind, seatbelt off and choked on my uncertainty
The wrong way makes my car spin like xans, but who’s up for doing ninety?
~*~
Pop another, now it’s hurting
Sip and driving got me swerving
Book a table, I’m reserving
Now it’s feeling like a circus…

triggers in traffic lights
I’ve been drinking while I’m driving down the highway
Haven’t blinked in like a minute, yeah it’s quite strange
I’ve been thinking ’bout all of the things
I might say or might do to you…
~*~
body like a car crash
i’m driving too fast
trying to get rid of
the devil riding on
my fucking shoulder
telling me don’t stop
.
i can’t blink anymore
they took away my view
and my hands are shaking
on the steering wheel as
i tear down the highways
chasing up atlantic to hell
.
but once i pull the trigger
and hit you with my bullet
i’ll fight in drunken sunsets
until i hear you admit all of it
and when you do, i’ll let it go
i’ll take my hold off the brake
and we’ll careen out of control
bodies colliding on the high road.
~*~
Telling you I won’t slow down
Won’t slow down
Girl you gotta know right now
There’s no way out
Imma pull the trigger off, and imma let
These bullets talk…

unfinished highways
bury me
in an unfinished highway
where people with
no destinations
and nowhere else to go to
might dare to traverse
an unbroken path
and maybe, just maybe
in that desolate, dust-beaten
incomplete road
i just might be able to
walk away from everything
discover my place, and
find my way home.

She Owns a Red Cadillac and I Need an Accident
(Here, have a random piss-poor excuse of a “song” that I wrote aeons ago, because why the hell not.)
~*~
I can’t imagine being anywhere else
I can’t imagine being anywhere else but here
How the hell did you ever pick me?
Honestly, I could sing you a song
But I don’t think words can express your beauty
It’s singing to me, how the hell did we end up like this?
You bring out the beast in me…
~*~
It was the best day of our lives
Until you decided to run away
Into the highway velocity, a blood-beat wife
It’s the same old routine today
.
My bridal girl, your seatbelt’s fraying
In gasoline tears, your dress is melting
But don’t you cry too fast now
The road’s too slippery for a row
.
Hit another skid, another dancing kid
(I’m tired, I’m tired, I’m fucking tired!)
The path is twisting, I’m getting rid
(Too busy fighting, fucking watch out!)
.
You passed out again from pressing on your bruises
In silken sheets and raining scarlet roses
We’ll save you! We’ll save this
Affair, a tragedy for the intensive care unit
.
Kill me, kiss me again
With both my hands on the steering wheel
It’s more fun to die with both eyes wide shut
So don’t let me miss the thrill
.
Yellow headlights illuminate
Another fractured heart
And shattered glass against the monitor
A beat that won’t restart
.
(Crash! Crash! Cause a pileup on the intersection!
Red! Lights! Call an ambulance, fucking call 911!)
.
You passed out again from coddling your concussion
In the backseat staining sodas and cold emotions
They’ll save you! But can’t save this
Affair, a casualty for the backdoor morgue cemeteries
.
Wipe away the spit that’s fermenting on the windshield
This is the beginning of an ending of a road trip tour that failed
I’m just a pedestrian and you ran me over and out
But I got hit so hard, I lost my sense and twisted my mouth!
.
Let’s be honest, this turnpike romance was never gonna work
I guess you’re just a bad driver now and I’m the jerk…
.
(Confiscate my licence, hit the brakes now!)
.
You blacked out again and you never wanna wake up
This turbulence in California won’t have a gas station stop
I’ll save myself! I’ll save this acceleration
A passenger seat left empty come the overtaking horizon.
.
(Crash! Crash! These hearts are colliding, we’re in motion!
Red! Lights! Don’t call 911, we’re about to have fun!)
~*~
It goes to show, I hope that you know that you are
What my dreams are made of
Can’t fall asleep, can’t fall asleep
I lay in my bed awake, in my bed awake at night…

Highway Runaway
If you were me, you’d run away
This sky ain’t worth a million pay
Take your luggage onto traffic
To a fitful tantrum, I will not stick
.
If I were you, I’d hide that away
Indigo nights are better than grey
Place your faith in intersection
To a cool conniption, a resolution.
