Body Damage
[Verse 1]
A life was stolen today
A moment passed and it was gone
The carnage in the car accompanied the girl
Who was here, now she's there
In a 3' x 8' cell
[Chorus]
I'm afraid of my soul leaving my body there
On a gassoaked road with nothing to give
Take the time to count my blessings
"˜Til the time it's me they bury
[Post-Chorus]
Where is it we compromise to be?
Why is it we think "It never will be me"?
[Verse 2]
Crash scene depicted with the victim ejected out
Crushing of bone
Feeling of shock
Running the stop
Cue paramedic, triage requested
Until the 3' x 8' cell
[Chorus]
I'm afraid of my soul leaving my body there
On a bloodsoaked road with nothing to give
Take the time to count my blessings
"˜Til the time it's me they bury
[Post-Chorus]
Where is it we compromise to be?
Looking away at the wrong time
[Verse 3]
Too many others are complacent
Caution may not stop a reckless path
The driver of the car was shrieking
As the girl who was here fought for air
I hope I'm never there
Strewn on the pavement
Strewn on the pavement
[Outro]
Cue paramedics, triage requested
Take the time to count my blessings
"˜Til the time it's me they bury
I'm afraid of leaving my body there
Strewn on the pavement
I'm afraid of leaving my body there
