East Coast E.

It stopped raining against the windows In the late days before July We used our bodies against our reason As we threw ourselves from in to outside Through the glass we'd pass the graveyards The speed was part of killing our time Our mouths were moving suggesting promise Smartly promise can change into lies Caught in a car you weren't driving Wondered where they'd let you off Before the impact you smiled Before the impact you said what a great summer night You were looking at your fingers You were counting for control I'd never heard so much quiet I'd never heard so little breath Or so few of your words Ahead of safety we'd gone much farther Faster the trees blurred the lines The last few moments the seconds slowed up As the tires pointed at the sky Caught in a car you weren't driving Wondered where they'd let you off Before the impact you smiled Before the impact you said what a great summer night Extras get on the set --- East Coast E. - Matt Pond PA
