lyrics

Lyrics:

You were the victim of a car crash on a Wednesday afternoon
Passing through an intersection
Didn't have the time to move
The other driver was too tired
He was drinking all night long
The consequences of his choices have ripped your life apart

It isn't fair
It isn't fair
Married for less than a day
It isn't fair
It isn't fair
An accident took her away

She was taken away from you
On the day she became yours
You lived and she was taken
Someone holy was mistaken
The one who completed you
Is now in the ground
Now only half of you exists

You woke up looking like a car crash
On a thursday afternoon

You never picked up the pieces
Your life is now a wreck
Finding comfort at the bottom of a bottle and hoping that these pills help you forget

It isn't fair
It isn't fair
Your angel flew away
It isn't fair
It isn't fair
You're left on the ground with broken wings

But if she could see you now
How do you think she'd feel?
Emptying bottles of booze and pills
Forgetting the memories won't help you heal
If you could see how you're hurting her by trying to stop the pain
Your wounding her with your wounded heart
Let go and free your broken soul

We both know she's not coming back
And it hurts, I know
Pick up the pieces of your broken life
And let love heal your broken soul

(Guest Vocals)
After all your cards are played
Last chance has been called
Basking in this neon remedy
Much the worse for wear

Flourenscent horror on the pavement
That isn't light at the end of the tunnel
Now this wounded sky is crying
Chilling my bones to their very core

One futile moment to avoid collision
I never even saw it coming
A beautiful life ended far too quickly
I'll light a candle for you my dear
The consequences of my actions thrust onto my lap
And now I have no choice but to pay for my mistake
Oh God, what have I become?

about

Isle Royal Detroit, Michigan

After recording these 5 songs, a few of our members including the vocalist have left the band, leaving those of us remaining with a blank slate and some time for a fresh start. We will not be able to perform these songs the way they were recorded without the original line up, so we decided just to release them as a free download. We hope you enjoy listening to them, Thank you! ... more
