The Approaching Curve Lyrics - The Sufferer And The Witness - Rise Against

The music blaired with a calming frequency 

The speakers gently seeped the sound 

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 streaks of melting snow cascaded down its length 

The music pulsed louder, but gentle 

Like the far away squeal of a pot 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 

And she hadn't so much as turned the steering wheel

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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'd 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 that my heart had jumped 

"I'm not doing anything", I said 

But I didn't even believe that myself 

"This is what's best, for me, for you, for us" 

Or maybe just for me I thought, 

As a tear formed in the pit of her eye 

The music poured through the speakers 

And we were losing ourselves in 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'd 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 our smiles 

'Cause that's all they'd 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
