Testo
He knew his pride was the place he could hide
Like a mother of lies that he clung to
He blew his life on a moments respite, clutching on to the pipe
What a dumb fool
Something keeps him down
He's on his back now
He knew he'd die from a slow suicide
In the back of his mind there was one truth
He stood inside, for a moment he cried
Then he turned out the light
He got into his car and drove into the dark
Leaving all the hopeless years
With hands he could not feel he gripped on to the wheel
His choices never seemed so clear
With thoughts igniting fear bouncing ear to ear
As the voices seemed to draw him near
And though he's full of dread he's looking straight ahead
And there's angels in the rear view mirror
Something took his life
He's gotta make right
She knew the signs when he'd come home at night
In a rage set to fight nowhere to run to
She learned in time that the bruises subside
But the aching inside never seemed to
Something keeps her down
She's on her back now
She knew she'd die just a matter of time
Till the light in her eyes ceased to come through
She took a knife while he slept at her side
Then she turned out the light
She got into her car and drove into the dark
Leaving all the hopeless years
With hands made out of steel she gripped on to the wheel
Her choices never seemed so clear
With thoughts igniting fear bouncing ear to ear
As the voices seemed to draw her near
And though she's full of dread she's looking straight ahead
And there's angels in the rear view mirror
Someone took her life
She's got it back right
Hold on to me
I cannot sleep
