about

Written for the Hugo House Literary Series in 2015

lyrics

845 in the morning
south bound on 99
car tires squel without warning
crushed metal shattered glass
sirens scream through the morning light
life it changed in the blink of an eye


Here I am, I’m one of those
people who knows how fragile life can be
I survived, I was lucky this time
cause when you’ve seen the things that I have seen
you change your mind you start listening
this moment is the only one you know
When you’ve seen the end of the road
like me
When you’ve seen the end of the road nothing will ever be the same


Slow motion doctors and nurses
twirl around my hospital bed
the air fills with medical jargon
floating inside my head

All I want is to laugh and just be thankful
but is my normal just naive

All I want is dial it back to normal
but is my normal just naive

Here I am, I’m one of those
people who knows how fragile life can be
I survived, I was lucky this time
cause when you’ve seen the things that I have seen
you change your mind you start listening
this moment is the only one you know
When you’ve seen the end of the road
like me
When you’ve seen the end of the road nothing will ever be the same
