One Too Many

The engine revs faster, The transmission grinds as i shift, I turn the music up to forget why im here, Moonlight flooded the ground making everything crystal clear, I saw every detail of every object as it flew past my window, Yet, i couldnt see anything through the stone wall in my mind, The car starts to shake as my speed increases, The axles groan with every small bump, Its finally time to let off the gas, Spinning the wheel, i could see my whole past, Every mistake, and regret and all the heartbreak, Without feeling a thing the whole trip was over, Not a drop touched my lips, But i was never once sober
