[Verse 1]

The metal bent back to the roof of the mouth

No wonder they weren't speaking

A mangler touched the car

And tore a family apart

And then a stranger made his way through the crowd

And reached in for the bleeding

He pulled the bodies out

The fire finally caught up

And tore a family apart

[Chorus]

Back and forth

The violence will sway

And the audience was getting tense

[Verse 2]

Let's look now for the probable cause

Oh look, someonе was speeding

The air was drunk with lies

And they wеre covered in doubt

He looked down at the twisted design

And just could not believe it

He wiped the glass from their eyes

To breathe life in their mouth

And they pushed it back out

[Chorus]

Back and forth

The violence will sway

And the audience was getting tense

Chord for chord

The violins will play

But they never really made much sense

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]

When tragedy dies

Leaves you alone

Where do you go

He's just feeling crushing bones

Underneath both the palms

All eyes on the road

He's saving a boy

Not letting go

A stranger that's just left known

As a hero unknown

[Chorus]

Back and forth

The violence will sway

And the audience was getting tense

Chord for chord

The violins will play

But, they never really made much sense

No, they never really made much sense
