I don’t want to face the storm
Raving raindrops ravage the silence
And I can’t keep away the swarm
Of thoughts that pester me
All day and all night
They tell me
That from life I must flee
They don’t want me to fight
I don’t want to see this rage in front of me
But I have to face the storm.
Instead I watch the lives that drive by
To forget the fact that I’m the one speeding
But I can’t block out the rain raging against the panes
Nor can I stop my heart from bleeding
I lock my eyes on the lives passing beside me
Veils of mist following some
How they seem so sleek and shiny
How fast they seem to hurry
While I’m sitting here, numb
I can't ignore the others that drive by
Even when they tell me to quit speeding.
I look up with dread at the furious clouds in the distance
I can’t imagine a storm bigger than the one I’m facing
But I know this turmoil is coming for me
And I only know one way to stop me from chasing
I could force down my brakes
And tumble into the hands of death
But will this just lead to higher stakes?
How many others will I break?
I just can't get myself to take my final breath
