On The Scene (2016)

lyrics

This song starts from beneath the sheets
Jump start my heart to keep the beat
Retrace my steps, relive the life I lived, past tense
It's funny how the tables turn
Without a chance, without a word
No way to know what waits beyond the bedroom door

I never had a chance to run
I never had a chance to hide
No eerie feeling in my bones to leave me feeling terrified
I never saw the face behind the act that left me dead
Well, maybe it was something that I said

Black dress, suspect, but I never did see her on hallowed ground
Cross my heart and hope to die, I'll never make a sound

The worst part of finding out this way
Is you'll move on
Despite the grave circumstances I must face
'Till death do us part
Well, baby I'll wait

Well maybe I had spoke too soon
Assuming accusations loomed
Over your head until you left this world behind
This finger pointing game is losing time and lives
It makes the women cry, and left loose ends I can not tie

Black dress, suspect, but I never did see her on hallowed ground
Downed at the bottom of a barrel, that girl was lost and never found

Just so you know
