I should've died that night 
I should've lost it all, in hindsight 
The rearview reflection of my life 
Now seems so pointless and undefined 
I wasn't scared of the other side
It was a permanence I thought I could always defy
And I did that night, I danced with death
And I walked away with bleeding hands and a tremble in my step. 

I'm a nervous wreck 
A constant worry, an endless panic 
I'm probably better off dead 

There's a car crash in my head 
Burning with existential dread
Lay me down in the coffin of my regret
Is this life worth living? 

I cried that night, almost as much as when papa died
I walked that thin red line, 
And I saw my life flash before my parents' eyes
I wasn't scared of the prospect of dying
I was terrified of my family lying 
My lifeless body down for one final sleep
And the maggots eating away at my disease 

I feel so weak
I'm unscathed, and it's killing me
I'm caving in with my dreams 

When I die what will I see? 
Will I wake up beneath my grave
Screaming into the bleak eternity? 
Is life that unforgiving? 

I saw everything end while nothing actually did
The shattered glass wrote on my palms 
As my hands released from the steering wheel
And I could feel my spirit hugging my spine
Holding onto my body as tightly as the seatbelt held me
My family wept into my hospital gown 
And I breathed sigh after sigh of relief 

I was a deer in my own headlights
And it's taken me a long time to realize 
That this is why I survived
I will thrive 

I am alive 

I could've died that night
I could've lost it all, in hindsight
The rearview reflection of my life
Now seems so meaningful and redefined
