La Dispute - 35 Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Drivers out on the bridge
  • Slowing down as they go through a lane shift
  • Wires snap
  • Concrete gives
  • Metal twisting and
  • Everything tumbling
  • At the end of the work day
  • Stuck in traffic don't feel when the road sways
  • Underneath
  • Concrete gives
  • Metal twisting and
  • Everything tumbling
  • To their partners and kids
  • Don't suspect anything till the bridge splits
  • Wires snap
  • Concrete gives
  • Metal twisting and
  • Everything tumbling
  • Down
  • Where I sat I saw brake lights flash
  • And I pictured them: all the people, their faces in free fall, the water beneath
  • I pushed my palms against the table hard to see if it hurt
  • Were it glass would I have shattered it?
  • Could I battle every impulse to panic and then win
  • Swim out through the metal twisting upward like a sculpture
  • Or some terrible beast?
  • People trapped in their cars
  • Put both feet on the glass and then kick hard
  • Water pours in
  • Seatbelts twist
  • River flowing and
  • Everything going down
  • People under the water line
  • Workers sift through the wreckage of it find
  • Seatbelts stuck
  • Water fills up
  • River flowing and
  • Everything going downstream
  • On the dining room wall I watched it
  • Play in the reflection of the television
  • The reversal in the mirror hung I could see it all
  • How the dust clouds gather color as they billow out
  • Shades change shifting in the night
  • From the lights atop an ambulance
  • Like a firework's flash then that otherworldly glow
  • In the smoke thrown in the aftermath blows
  • Almost frozen for a moment there
  • I could see it all
  • Every
  • Dust cloud
  • Shattered glass
  • Billow out
  • On the TV
  • Wires snap and the
  • Concrete gives
  • Metal twists up and onward
  • I can see it all
  • Every
  • Dust cloud
  • Shattered glass
  • Billow out
  • On the TV
  • Wires snap and the
  • Concrete gives in
  • Metal twists up and onward I watch
  • And I can see it all
  • All the wreckage
  • All the cars piled
  • In the river and
  • The rail yard
  • Metal twists
  • Wires snap
  • Concrete blocks split
  • Dangle from tie rods
  • And metal twists up
  • Wires sway
  • When a breeze blows
  • In the distant
  • Sirens glow
  • I can see it all
  • Where they look for survivors
  • Searchlights float
  • Change the color of smoke clouds
  • And shadows still fall
  • People under the water
  • People trapped in their cars kick and try to get out
  • People still with their seat belts on
  • Pets they had in the back and
  • Car seats
  • And I watch it on TV lying down here
  • On the floor in the dining room reversed in the mirror
  • Where I know I'm not dreaming now
  • But I know I've been sleeping
  • I just don't know since when
  • I only know that it's light outside
  • I only know that the rent is still late
  • When did they find out the concrete gave?
  • When did they learn that the wires snapped?
