Gavin Castleton - Layers lyrics

You slam the door Now they're coming towards us I try to point us to the road But it's just pointless I push the pedal to the floor Burning rubber through the cornfield In the rows are many many more Makin' zombie yogurt with the windshield I'm so relieved when we finally make it to the trees Crowned by the sun rising in the east But you are just a blank, frozen in your seat Eyes of a lemur, ghostly as teeth I try to pull you close, tell you it's alright You slap my hand away, bracing for a fight We made it to the car, both without a bite But you will never find the end of last night We drove beyond the towns we knew But never saw a soul I hope you're satisfied- You brought me back a stuffed penguin So I guess it's fine that I almost died You couldn't wait to try to save her While I played the bait you just snuck outside They couldn't hear your feet 'cause she was screaming She was meet before you stepped inside Her house was beat - we knew that from the street But you just simply had to try You lost a friend But in the end, it was only me that cried You couldn't hear me Maybe 'cause you were so deaf with pride You think "concern" is just another word for compromise Well the barn is dust so we have to drive Now I can't decide I'm afraid to be alone and I'm afraid to be with you It's a sudden truth that I can't deny We parked nearby a grocery store As stark as once could be And dangling from the entrance door A severed arm inserts the key Can we stay here for the night? We'll just tuck the car out of sight I was wrong to leave you alone - I thought it was strength but I should've known
