Right Turn
V1:
She holds a knife
Up to her chest tonight
She’ll close her eyes
And run into the light
But will she hear the sound
Of crying mom and screaming kids
Will they hold her tight?
The draining life will stain their skin
Ch1:
Will she make it look like an accident?
If she dies in vein will there be any good place to go?
If she convinced herself it was an accident,
Will she face the crime alone?
She takes a breath and
Soon, she will know
V2:
The barrel’s cold
In his ear tonight
And with the sight,
He grabs the grip and gives a turn
Till it fits just right
He took the time
To make his bed and leave a note
But he second guessed
When he tried to write a joke
Ch2:
Will he make it look like an accident
And if he dies in vein will there be any good place to go
If he convinced himself it was an accident,
Will he face the crime alone?
He takes a breath and
Soon he will know
V3:
I could drive
Into a tree tonight
Or maybe I
Could just run a traffic light
So love the boys
Feed them well and give them kisses
And maybe they
Will grow stronger than Daddy is
Ch3:
Can I make it look like an accident
And if I die in vein will I find any peace where I go
If I convinced myself it was an accident
Will I face the crime alone?
If I take the Left turn
Soon, I will know
