accidentally hit
by Cody Tweedt
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The air in the foyer smells like expensive rain and ozone
And the silence of the house is a heavy, velvet throne
I’m the only heartbeat thumping in a gallery of stone
A fragile little secret that the Cullens call their own
I walked through the archway, just looking for a glass
Not expecting a hurricane of muscle and of mass
Emmett was a blur of gold, a glitch in human sight
And he collided with my center with the force of a dying light.
(Chorus)
And I screamed it to the rafters, I screamed it to the floor
A sound that shook the windows and rattled every door
Oh fuck my balls!
Yeah, fuck my balls!
A sudden, sharp explosion in the quiet of the hall.
(Verse 2)
He froze like a statue, his eyes wide and pale
The look on his face was a mixture of horror and fail
He looked down at the wreckage, at the ruin of my stride
And he whispered like a confession he could no longer hide:
"Oh fuck, I broke your balls," he gasped, his voice a thunder roll
While I was on the carpet, losing every bit of control
He tried to reach out, to apologize, to make the moment right
But I was seeing stars in the middle of the light.
(Chorus)
And I screamed it to the rafters, I screamed it to the floor
A sound that shook the windows and rattled every door
Oh fuck my balls!
Yeah, fuck my balls!
A sudden, sharp explosion in the quiet of the hall.
(Bridge)
But the blood of the world is a strange, shifting tide
And the magic of the house has a way of colliding inside
I felt the snap, then the surge, then the heat of the regrowth
A biological miracle, a terrifying oath
As the skin knit together and the ache started to fade
I realized the mistake that the big guy had made.
(Guitar Solo - Heavy, distorted, and slightly chaotic)
(Verse 3)
He’s babbling now, saying "Bella, please, it was a lapse in grace"
With that goofy, guilty expression all over his vampire face
He’s trying to be gentle, trying to play the part of the friend
But the adrenaline is spiking, bringing the agony to an end
The regrowth hit a fever pitch, a spark in the dark
And suddenly the feeling hit me, a jagged little spark.
(Outro)
(Tempo slows down, bass gets heavy)
Fuck my balls, apparently.
(Emmett: "I'm so sorry, Bella, truly—")
Fuck my balls.
(Emmett: "I didn't mean to—")
And as the feeling washed over, the tension finally broke
And I looked at the giant, and the only words I spoke were...
"Fuck, I came from that, you jerk!"
(Final crash of drums)
(End)
