The Incident
Location
I see you there in the back row
Laughing like a pro
But tell me is it still funny
When it’s you on the road?
When you’re the one that’s suffering
The harsh and painful blow.
Tell me is it funny
When your family is standing on the road?
When you see that headlight out of nowhere
Coming towards you fast
Tell me is it funny
When you’re trying to breathe through glass
When your body is bloody
And you can’t move your legs
Tell me is it funny now?
Too bad it just began.
No one hears your screams
No one hears your pain
You lay there in that coffin of steel
Too destroyed to move
So tell me is it still funny
Watching me up here?
Explaining all of the facts
The reasons why you shouldn’t do
This harmful thing to me
When I’m telling you my story
And I see you sit and laugh
Tell me what’s so funny
About a face,
Distorted by glass
From a crash
That should have been
Fatal.
