about

this is the only song from i was able to find from a concept album i attempted to write. the story was about two people who meet incidentally and discover they have similar interests, similar angers, and similar financial woes so they decide to rob a bank. during the robbery, one of them shoots someone and the other person turns them in and takes the money after some internal debate, but then later breaks them out of jail- a farfetched story i know. this song takes place during the final planning and the beginning of the robbery.

lyrics

i'm trying to save us from this hole.
don't worry about it, let me take control.
the truth is we can't pay this toll
and they won't miss anything that you stole.
so we plan our entrance, plan our getaway,
plan on being quick, no matter what they say.
pull up to the curb and leave the engine on,
in a few short minutes we'll be gone.

hands up, throw your bodies to the ground.
don't make any motion, nobody make a sound.
careful what you say my darling, don't throw our names around.
hands up, throw your bodies down.

what do you say now, what do you see?
is there anybody out there, is it just you and me?
hold tight to my hand now, i'm sure we'll break free.
throw your bodies down, don't you even breathe.
