Rise Against

The Approaching Curve

The music blared with a calming frequency

The speakers gently seeped the sounds of ambient keyboards and light percussion

Creating a seductive soundtrack to our midnight drive through curtains of blackness

The windows were cold to the touch reflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity

Salt stains and fingerprints littered the glass and streets with melted snow cascaded down its length

The music pulsed louder yet gentle like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water

The skyline was glowing faintly with vague hints of an impending dawn

The car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road

And she hadn't so much as turned the steering wheel two degrees in the last twenty minutes

Nor had we spoken

As we were so perfect so happy

They'll remember only our smiles 'cause that's all they've seen

Long since dried when we are found are the tears in which we had drowned

As we were so perfect so happy

Why are you doing this she spoke as if not expecting a response

Her voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive so suddenly that my heart had jumped

I'm not doing anything I said but I didn't even believe that myself

This is what's best for me for you for us or maybe just for me I thought

As a tear formed in the pit of her eye The music poured through the speakers

And we were losing ourselves in the cadence She looked down momentarily and closed her eyes

For a bit longer than a standard blink Then she was crying Then she was shouting

Then I was shouting now pouring confessions having no answers or solutions

We barely even knew the questions

They'll remember only our smiles 'cause that's all they've seen

Don't put me under ground I was meant for a life somewhere else

Please Love give me the wheel before both of our hearts you will steal tonight

Will steal tonight

They'll remember only your smiles 'cause that's all they've seen

Our cracking voices became part of the music

The car pressed on faster through the night As our voices lowered

The cadence again overtook the air

Up ahead there was a curve approaching

She made no indications of slowing
