Life so trivial

Leaving town tonight
Heart doesn't want to
On high spirits
Easing my pain
Dusty windshield
Watch the road ahead

Road signs glaring bright
Rock song on my stereo
Banging head, keep eye open
Tail lights at a distance
Speeds away around the bend

Bright lights keep company
As my senses give me away
Leaving behind a wasted life
Chasing my dreams
Happy days under the sun

Speed away from life
Escape the inevitable
What irony life spells
Try to make sense
Numbed thoughts blue veins

Little girl, cold feet
Dead leaf bring life
So much to light a fire
Cook food, comfort the fingers
Cruel nature gave few twigs
Cross road, hope in her wings

Saw her, a fleeting glimpse
Soft touch no escape
Lying dead on the highway
Cold night cold senses
Warm blood trickles and freezes
Headlights burning, only hope
As life turns white and fades away

Stand trembling, blood rushes
Is it the cold or is it fear
Causing death chasing life
Looking in from the outside
I did sin I did crime

Pick her lifeless body
Blood on my hands bring back senses
As conscience rush orders
Hands drained of feelings
Still feel the warmth
Of human touch

Feel her soul
Another life, another dream
Hold onto her, hold tight
Like my little sister
Big hug, bidding her farewell
Travel to the unknown
Life so trivial

Can't think anymore
I stand there still
As world comes clear
Dreams sound unreal
Coming full circle now
Life so trivial
