Lyrics

Karma's reaching out for every onus of my soul
Feel the pressure I just need to carry on
See the taxi as it's speeding past me
He hits the gas as I'm in the backseat
Beepin red you can see the battery
I'm deeply scared I might be a casualty
Red lights in the dead night
But I wouldn't have it any other way, right?
Sit me down on the open road
High beams through the fog and smoke
My heart bleeds for this moment though
Felt the axe cleave through my collar bone
Make it swift as the oceans float
Set adrift on a coastal boat
My every drop wants to fill this pond
If the angels call they will cheer me on
I wonder how I even made it here
But everything else remains so clear
My heart bleeds for this moment though
It's exactly how it's sposed to go
So sit me down on the open road
High beams though the fog and smoke
One shot for this moment though
Better aim slow then let it go go go
Feel the depths as they reaching out
Man the puddle's deep, is it deep enough?
Man the shallow creek couldn't keep me down
The final breath and the final step
Memories gone and there's nothing left
There is nothing else but the silence next
Do not fear the void
It is not your enemy
Neither is it your friend
Do not fear the loss of your hopes and dreams
It's up to you how much it matters in the end
Do not fear loss and the emotions that come with it
Because you have no control
On how they'll remember you
Do not fear the uncertainty and consequences
They are inevitable and they will not fear you
Sit me down in my casket
Jewels on in a black dress
Or a suit tailored with a napkin
I am Cruella in the black wig
So sit me down by the open flame
Burning fire leaving cold remains
Toss me out by the open sea
Baby, hold me out to the open wind
So sit me down till the wind blows
Till the breeze shatters through my cheekbone
Watch the trees as they sprout from me
I'll sow the seeds for the plants and leaves
Sit me down in a dark room
The sun's gone
I'm without you
And my heart's cold
And my last thoughts
Are just nothing else
There's just nothing else
Sit me down by the open road
High beams through the fog and smoke
My heart bleeds for this moment though
Felt the axe cleave through my collar bone
