Tunnels

Please don't turn into another sad song
We have records worth of those
Don't have enough wind to steal, land is so long
The books that I've drawn to a close

Cease and desist advances
Hold down the co-romances
Another brick in your otherwise stone wall

Fondness of taking chances
Under such circumstances
What would constitute a graceful fall?

I hold my breath every time I go through tunnels
There's not much else to do at this rate
When each passing day just disappoints and humbles
Maybe I'll leave it all up to fate

Herculean trials in pursuit of smiles
Perfect hindsight vision compromised
More than noticeable change in style
Excruciating repetition summarized

I hold my breath every time I go through tunnels
There's not much else to do at this rate
When each passing day just disappoints and humbles
Maybe I'll leave it all up to fate

Please don't turn into another sad song
I have a lifetime's worth of those
With lines that you and your friends can sing along
Or dedicate onto your foes

I hold my breath as I drive into this tunnel
I'm left with nothing else at this rate
Close my eyes and hope with this steering wheel
I don't fumble and leave it all to fate
