Album: The Sufferer and The Witness
...............
The music played with a calming frequency, the speakers gently seeped the sounds of ambient keyboards and light percussion,
Creating a seductive soundtrack to our midnight drive through curtains of blackness.

The windows were cold to the touch, reflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity.
Salt stains and fingerprints littered the glass, and streets with melted snow cascaded down it's length.

The music pulsed louder, yet gentle, like the faraway squeal of boiling water,
The skyline was glowing faintly with vague hints of an impending dawn.

The car raced along a painfully straight stretch of road,
She hadn't so much as turned the steering wheel two degrees in the last twenty minutes....
Nor had we spoken.

As we were,
So perfect,
So happy~,
They'll remember only our smiles,
'cause that's all they've seen.
Long since dried,
When we are found,
Are the tears in which we had drowned.....
As we were,
So perfect,
So happy~.

"Why are you doing this?" She spoke as if not expecting a response.
Her voice penetrated the still air of our speechless drive, so suddenly my heart jumped.

"I'm not doing anything," I said, but I didn't even believe that myself.
This is what's best for you, for us,
"Or maybe just for me," I thought, as a tear formed in the pit of her eye.

The music pours through the speakers, and we were losing ourselves from the cadence. She looked down momentarily, and closed her eyes for a bit longer than a standard blink.

Then she was crying, then she was shouting, then I was shouting, now pouring confessions, having no answers or solutions...
We barely even knew the questions.....

As we were,
So perfect,
So happy~,
They'll remember only our smiles,
'cause that's all they've seen.
Long since dried,
When we are found,
Are the tears in which we had drowned.....
As we were,
So perfect,
So happy~.
.............
Don't put me underground!
I was meant for a life somewhere else....
Please love give me the wheel....
Before both of our hearts you....
Will steal tonight~!
(Will steal tonight~!)

As we were,
So perfect,
So happy~,
They'll remember only your smiles,
'cause that's all they've seen.
Long since dried,
When we are found,
Are the tears in which we had drowned.....
As we were,
So perfect,
So happy~.

Our cracking voices became part of the music, the car pressed on faster through the night.

As our voices lowered, the cadence again overtook the air.

Up ahead, there was a curve approaching.....
She made no indications of slowing.
