Tar and Hate
Peel my heart like an open book
I'm not ready to turn that page
With lungs full of tar and a heart full of hate
I'm too young to die so let's celebrate
And the past is in the past
But the scars are gonna last
The past is in the past
But all your scars are here to last
I'm like a road map of your destruction
My skin is potholes without reconstruction
Lungs full of tar and a heart full of hate
I'm too young to die so let's celebrate
Alive, alive, I am alive
Alive, alive, I am alive
Alive, alive, I am alive
No one behind the wheel
But the car still drives
I'm not ready to turn that page
With lungs full of tar and a heart full of hate
I'm too young to die so let's celebrate
And the past is in the past
But the scars are gonna last
The past is in the past
But all your scars are here to last
I'm like a road map of your destruction
My skin is potholes without reconstruction
Lungs full of tar and a heart full of hate
I'm too young to die so let's celebrate
Alive, alive, I am alive
Alive, alive, I am alive
Alive, alive, I am alive
No one behind the wheel
But the car still drives

this could almost be song lyrics
a darkly wicked song..
with a sinister & chilling ending
with pictures of your body animated
with nobody behind the wheel..
darkly brillliant..

I was smoking a cigarette in the dark in the middle of a snow storm when the line "Lungs full of tar and a heart full of hate" came to me and rest just fell into place. I won't lie, there was a bit of a beat playing in my head. Thanks for your comment! I greatly appreciate your words.
