Time - Deer God lyrics

[Verse 1: Time] I'm driving down This country road half way to town The purple sunsets behind me, the city's in front My headlights were my eyes then it happened all at once I saw a shadow on the road but I was moving too quick I slammed on the brakes then I felt your skull hit You turned into a speed bump, my brake lights reflected my eyes I came to a stop, I tried not to cry as you died I threw it in drive, I couldn't even look at you, I guess I'm a coward inside So I drove to city where the animals are already dead I wandered through the streets double playing your d**h in my head Rewind, rewind, pause and then stop There's no fast forward on the past, we're caged in with thought I'm thinking and thinking, making excuses to block it out But I can see his face and his bloody snout No one cares if trees fall or if they make a sound All that matters is what we see and all I saw was you and my tire marks on the ground All I saw was you and my tire marks on the ground [Hook: Time] Deer god oh deer god What have i done oh deer god [Verse 2: Time] And I still cringe every time I drive down that god forsaken road Knowing that was the place where your body got separated from your soul My foot was the trigger, my silver car was the bullet The steering wheel aimed, fate's finger co*ked the hammer and pulled it You laid down and never got up, I went home to my family, I guess you can call it luck You left with the sun, it set on you that night I woke up with nothing except guilt and a mind full of fright A piece of me died that day but I guess that's best than losing all the rest You just wanted to get to the other side you did but it was d**h Our eyes met, yours were calm we were both trying to get home One of us made it but under it all were just blood and bones And I can still see the stains and the fur on my hood And I know I can't but if I could take it back I would Not for your sake but for mine and I know that's selfish but if I said anything else I'd be lying And I know we're all born for a reason and if not then the theory of god is all wrong Cause maybe you were sent to die so you could turn into a song
