Handbrake

from Heaven is Tomorrow by Maple

/

lyrics

your rage in an idle car pressed on the handbrake with your arm
my face after you throwing fists, caught by the moment and watching you drift
you chased me down when I wanted to run, knot in my stomach while you're crushed by a ton
you kept me locked away when I wanted to leave but justice came swiftly and your punishment free

swelling on your foot, I could barely look
frozen in your neighbor's yard looking defeated and scarred

you cried when the ambulance came, police took my number and name
you drugged on a hospital bed, I sat there wishing that you meant what you said
still smelled a hint of the drink on your breath, you spoke of survival while I replayed your death
you tested your limits and you lost it that night, falling from grace such a horrible sight

blood smeared on the seat, legs like dripping meat
now I know you bleed, image of defeat
swelling on your foot, I could barely look
broken in the hospital bed, clothes with stains of red
