The Only Thing

The only thing that keeps me from driving this carHalf-light, jack knife into the canyon at nightSigns and wonders, Perseus aligned with the skullSlain Medusa, Pegasus alight from us all
Do I care if I survive this, bury the dead where they're foundIn a veil of great surprises I wonder did you love me at all?
The only thing that keeps me from cutting my armCross hatch, warm bath, Holiday Inn after darkSigns and wonders, water stain writing the wallDaniel's message, blood of the moon on us all
Do I care if I despise this, nothing else matters, I knowIn a veil of great disguises, how do I live with your ghost?
Should I tear my eyes out now?Everything I see returns to you somehowShould I tear my heart out now?Everything I feel returns to you somehowI want to save you from your sorrow
The only reason why I continue at allFaith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumbSigns and wonders, sea lion caves in the darkBlind faith, God's grace, nothing else left to impart
Do I care if I survive this, bury the dead where they're foundIn a veil of great surprises, hold to my head till I drownShould I tear my eyes out now, before I see too much?Should I tear my arms out now, I wanna feel your touch
Should I tear my eyes out now?Everything I see returns to you somehowShould I tear my heart out now?Everything I feel returns to you somehow
