Rise Against[00:00:01]
The Approaching Curve[00:00:02]
The music blared with a calming frequency.[00:00:13]
The speakers gently seeped the sounds of ambient keyboards and light percussion,[00:00:16]
Creating a seductive soundtrack to our midnight drive through curtains of blackness.[00:00:20]
The windows were cold to the touch, reflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity.[00:00:23]
Salt stains and fingerprints littered the glass, and streets with melted snow cascaded down its length.[00:00:28]
The music pulsed louder, yet gentle, like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water.[00:00:33]
The skyline was glowing faintly with vague hints of an impending dawn.[00:00:39]
The car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road,[00:00:43]
And she hadn’t so much as turned the steering wheel two degrees in the last twenty minutes,[00:00:45]
Nor had we spoken.[00:00:49]
As we were, so perfect ,so happy.[00:00:53]
They'll remember, only our smiles 'cause that’s all they’ve seen.[00:00:58]
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.[00:01:05]
As we were, so perfect, so happy.[00:01:12]
“Why are you doing this?” she spoke as if not expecting a response.[00:01:19]
Her voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive, so suddenly that my heart had jumped.[00:01:22]
“I’m not doing anything,” I said, but I didn’t even believe that myself.[00:01:27]
“This is what’s best, for me, for you, for us or maybe just for me,” I thought,[00:01:31]
As a tear formed in the pit of her eye. The music poured through the speakers[00:01:36]
And we were losing ourselves in the cadence. She looked down momentarily and closed her eyes[00:01:40]
For a bit longer than a standard blink. Then she was crying. Then she was shouting.[00:01:45]
Then I was shouting, now pouring confessions, having no answers, or solutions,[00:01:50]
We barely even knew the questions.[00:01:55]
As we were, so perfect ,so happy.[00:01:58]
They’ll remember, only our smiles 'cause that’s all they’ve seen.[00:02:04]
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.[00:02:11]
As we were, so perfect, so happy.[00:02:17]
Don’t put me under ground, I was meant for a life somewhere else.[00:02:38]
Please Love give me the wheel before both of our hearts you will steal tonight. (Will steal tonight.)[00:02:46]
As we were, so perfect, so happy.[00:02:58]
They'll remember, only your smiles 'cause that’s all they’ve seen.[00:03:04]
Long since dried, when we are found, are the tears in which we had drowned.[00:03:11]
As we were, so perfect, so happy.[00:03:18]
Our cracking voices became part of the music.[00:03:24]
The car pressed on faster through the night. As our voices lowered,[00:03:27]
The cadence again overtook the air.[00:03:30]
Up ahead there was a curve approaching.[00:03:32]
She made no indications of slowing.[00:03:34]
