Heartbreak

Headlights like eyes, watching me from the road
Short-circuit heart, I don't feel anymore
The asphalt melts like a river of pain
I run to escape, but destiny’s a horror

Slow it down, but the void pulls me in
Shattered heart, like falling glass, thin
Figures in the fog whisper my end
Impending crash, I lose myself again

Every turn is a scream I don’t want to hear
I push the gas harder, fighting off the fear
But lost love drags me, waits in the shade
In the rearview, I see the face that betrays

Slow it down, but the darkness calls my name
Short-circuit heart, I devour in the game
Faded faces, I feel myself break
Impending crash, there’s no escape

The wind cuts, my skin’s ablaze
Shadows dance in silence, out of phase
The wheel in my hands begins to melt
The sound of impact is all that’s left

Slow it down, (but I’m on the edge)
Everything fades, (and the end is a pledge)
Colors dim in the final sign
Short-circuit heart, in the final line
