Let's Get Off This Murder Train

Let's Get Off This Murder Train:

You turned off the engine, and we sat in the end. We let the silence run over our aching heads. You turned away, I was fighting for words. I wanted to say anything that would make you hurt. And you cried hard and I wondered if that meant that you were doing something that you'd soon regret.

Like two soldiers wounded at war, we staggered the front stairs, we barely made it through the door. I grabbed your hand, it was cold as a stone. So I told you to delete my number from your phone. And you cried hard and I wondered if that meant that you were doing something that you'd soon regret.

So why take all the time to manufacture lies if you thought that we weren't right? There's never been a silence quite like this between two best friends.

So I wished you the worst in every possible way. And I prayed and prayed that you'd hurt for the rest of your days. But to tell you the truth, I say a lot of things. And when it's in defense it's rarely what I mean. I never want you to hurt.

So why take all the time to manufacture lies if you thought that we weren't right? There's never been a silence quite like this between two best friends.

So why did you lie, and why did you cry?

Now, you know you should be emailing me when you put a new song up lol. Yet another good one Brian, a few of the lines really fit to the whole situation between me and my best friend. Glad to see you did atleast get a good tune out of things man. Fading in and fading out too, a regular youtube pro at this point :P

@voidofthought I'll drop you a line next time I post one up...I thought since you are a subscriber it would be automatic.

This tune was about an ex-girlfriend and I. Pretty much the exact timeline of the day we split.
