Car Crashes and Twenty-fifth Hour Apologies

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This song is about how I got into a fight with my best friend, and before we could solve the fight we had, he died in a car crash. I feel bad to this day that we never made up so I decided to write about it. Feel free to leave a link to one of your songs so I can rate it. Thanks.

Dusk had arrived, strangling the daylight.
And the throttled sky hung low.
The tension in the air was sensed by passing anatomy.
It's time to render goodnight.
But you walk to your door without glancing back.
I saunter home alone with nothing but passing headlights.
All I see is the sky, jet black.

[CHORUS]
The answer to our vendetta has come.
Not in a flush of wine but a gush of blood.
Here's your futile apology unveiled.
Eyes where the seas of sorrow sailed.

When I heard the three most horrid words of my life.
The reality of the situation hit me like a knife.
I write these words as a sympathetic letter to you.
And as an apology that's long-overdue.

[CHORUS]

(Please forgive me,
Here's your bitter vindication.
Please forgive me,
This is the reality of fiction)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last part in parenthesis is screamed in the backround while the lead singer sings the chorus. My band is doing this song and it kind of sounds like a Thursday/Silverstein type of song. I know the syllable count is very off for the whole song so if anyone has any suggestions that will help, please post them here. If anyone has any suggestions, comments, or questions about anything, please post them here or e-mail me at [email protected].
Thank you everyone who has read this and remember to leave a link to your song.

good line. I don't write songs, per se. I have poems on this board if you so choose to peruse it. Thanks for sharing your words though.
