marked unknown
manchester orchestra
he didn't hit the breaks before he glanced upon the meter
each mile a brilliant monument to every time she cheated
and arguments and parliaments helped to pack his bags tonight
so he left at 10 and waited for a sign
the cigarette butt in his lips was hanging on for life
it fell into his lap although he just ignored the fire
and the radio played faithful songs that made him cry again
so he took something that took that pain away
and he will pray for answers nobody will know
yet we're regretful to mark this man unknown
it was dark and empty as his car filled up with gas
his heart strapped in a seatbelt
and his head in broken glass
with his finger on the trigger
