Thrice

late night, brake's lock
hear the tires squeal
red light, can't stop
so i spin the wheel
my world goes black before I
feel an angel lift me up
and i open bloodshot eyes
into fluorescent white
flip the siren, hit the lights
close the doors and I am gone
now I lay here owing my life to a stranger
and I realize that
empty words are not enough
I'm left here with the question of just
what have i to show except the promises i never kept?
i lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets
*chorus*
i hope that i will never let you down
