Hail The Sun - Body Damage

A life was stolen today
A moment passed and it was gone
The carnage in the car
Accompanied the girl
Who was here
Now she’s there

In a 3' x 8' cell
I’m afraid of my soul leaving my body there
On a gassoaked road with nothing to give
Take the time to count my blessings
‘Til the time it’s me they bury
Where is it we compromise to be?

Why is it we think It never will be me?
Crash scene depicted with the victim ejected out
Crushing of bone
Feeling of shock
Running the stop
Cue paramedic
Triage requested

Until the 3' x 8' cell
I’m afraid of my soul leaving my body there
On a bloodsoaked road with nothing to give
Take the time to count my blessings
‘Til the time it’s me they bury
Where is it we compromise to be?

Looking away at the wrong time
Too many others are complacent
Caution may not stop a reckless path
The driver of the car was shrieking
As the girl
Who was here
Fought for air
I hope I’m never there
Strewn on the pavement
Strewn on the pavement
Cue paramedics
Triage requested

Take the time to count my blessings
‘Til the time it’s me they bury
I’m afraid of leaving my body there
Strewn on the pavement
I’m afraid of leaving my body there
