Roadside Memorial

Fifteen more miles 'til I can rest my eyes I can't handle all these late night drives My consciousness is starting to slip The steering wheel's beginning to drift Silence is the safest I feel My body needs time to heal I'm shaking, I can barely breathe My body can't keep up Just like a roadside memorial behind the guard rail Dead flowers and a wreath I don't wanna be (I don't wanna be) Just another cross nailed to a tree Nothing more that a passing glance When you flick out your cigarette Always focused on anyone but me No mental health days, no room to breathe Not trying to sound like a martyr But I'm dragging myself farther Into a grave that I can't crawl out Silence is the safest I feel My body needs time to heal I'm shaking, I can barely breathe My body can't keep up
