Lyrics


I cracked up from loneliness, I split out the door
left behind some messages, I wish that I did more
like I am a whisper, fading fast from view
Only wished that I had learned to love you.

I cracked up from hard times, from being kind of a rich man's son

from being the son of an immigrant, who maybe worked too hard
I cracked up in silence, wailing inside my head
and I broke down on highways, where loved ones never tread.

Saw the highway coming, saw my ghost go running
knew I was out of luck, just before the truck and me cracked up
they say just before you die, your life flashes right before your eyes.
I saw the wire coming, I saw the blood running out of me
running like a deep red sea.


Oh lord help me, oh lord help me
oh lord help me, oh lord help me

I cracked up in rhyme, I forgot about the time
forgot about who I'm suppose to be
I cracked up from innocence, from trying to be free
trying to be.

Oh saw the highway coming, saw my ghost come running
knew I was out of luck, before the truck and me cracked up
they say right before your die, your life flashes right before your eyes
I saw the wire coming, saw the blood running out of me
running like a deep red sea.

Oh lord help me, oh lord help me
oh lord help me, oh lord help me

Like I am a whisper, fading fast from view
only wish that I had learned to love you
only wish that I had learned to love you
only wish that I had learned to love you

Oh lord help me, saw the highway coming
oh lord help me, saw my ghost go running
oh lord help me, oh lord help me
oh lord help me, oh lord help me
