RUSH HOUR
Words/music by Ben Parent © 2014

Rush hour’s the wrong time
For a scenic drive
Rush hour’s the wrong time
For a scenic drive

I remember how you left
And everything you said
The poison on your breath
Nothing colored in
No filter on the lens
The film upon your skin
All the ins and outs
The violent in-betweens
Outtakes and deleted scenes

And if I still remember....
How could you ever forget?

Rush hour’s the wrong time
For a scenic drive
Rush hour’s the wrong time
For a scenic drive

Once upon a time
The circus was in town
The marquee read our name
We floated through the air
Lighter than the breeze
Existing for our own sake
It wasn’t black and white
It was colored with the stains
Of our growing pains

And if I still remember....
How could you ever forget?

Rush hour’s the wrong time
For a scenic drive
Rush hour’s the wrong time
For a scenic drive

So here we are today
What was lost along the way
Better off gone for good
Spoils for the cost
Fighting for the sport of it
To get it right at last
Storm before the clouds
Silver lining wearing down
Better standing up than on the ground

And yet I still remember....
How could we ever forget?
Why do I keep returning
Again and again and again?

Rush hour’s the wrong time
For a scenic drive
Rush hour’s the wrong time
For a scenic drive
Rush hour’s the wrong time
For a scenic drive
