The Approaching Curve |
The speakers gently seeped with 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 streaks of melting 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 |
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 |
Don’t put me underground, 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) |
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 |
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 |
