Whiplash - Silverstein

Late night, I try to focus on the blurred lights

Neon signs and my hands are freezing

Snow blind with my head down with the wind in my eyes

This icy road stares back

There’s only so much hope when every place I go

Reminds me I’ll never get back home

But there’s no time, I look up into headlights

The screeching tires seem to call my name

I deserve this, it’s all true

I’m burning up

Everything you said hit me like a car wreck

Face down on the cold ground

Slipping away as the past comes back

I’m face down on the cold ground

Slipping away as it fades to black

Whiplash, a thousand thoughts converge on impact

A cry for help

But there’s no one left and the silence wins again

I’m barely breathing as they call my name

I deserve this, it’s all true

I’m burning up

Everything you said hit me like a car wreck

Face down on the cold ground

Slipping away as the past comes back

I’m face down on the cold ground

Slipping away as it fades to black

But in the pouring rain

I never felt like that, you said you felt the same

Can’t spend another day here

I keep looking back as you’re looking away

Everything you said hit me like a car wreck

Everything-everything you said hit me like a car wreck

I’m no better than bad luck

Walk away while you can

Walk away while you can

Turn the page then nail the book shut

Just walk away while you can

Just walk away while you can

Just walk away

Face down on the cold ground

Slipping away as the past comes back

I’m face down on the cold ground

Slipping away as it fades to black

But in the pouring rain

I never felt like that, you said you felt the same

Can’t spend another day here

I keep looking back as you’re looking away

Just walk away while you can

Just walk away while you can
