Drive

Drive There's nothing else for you Death lingers The dead are calling you Speed Your speed killed here and now You didn't see him because speed, drink and night create a cloud Reckless Your headlight broke but they weren't on Two pints but you're driving so you should have had none Silence As you look at a dead man A wedding ring, he's probably got children? No witness but you know what you've done Regret Get back into your car It's cold now under the seeing stars Headlights One shines down the road into the night You see a tree standing there in the light Drive Drive fast and straight and true The shame you've brought upon you Faster, use speed now to silence the noise in your brain Reckless, the crash will kill your pain.
