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.
