lyrics

There’s a spot
In the dark
Where it happened
Facing the trees
Where life just carries on

Near the road
Where gravel
Mixes with
Green of the grass
All broke down near here

Begins with a fire alarm
Ringing on
Scores in pen on her arm the words
Of a song
Words in her head collide
As it starts
She’ll repeat these as a mantra
In the dark:

“Where will I run
when I’ve outrun my guilt?
Am I as helpless as I feel?”

Near the lights
The town
Where it happened
Facing the road
The road just carries on

In the grass
Where the snakes
Kiss with
Poisoned words
The end can’t be too long

Begins with a fire alarm
Ringing on
Scores in pen on her arm the words
Of a song
Words in her head collide
As it starts
She’ll repeat these as a mantra
In the dark:

“Where will I run
when I’ve outrun my guilt?
Am I as helpless as I feel?”
