I grow tired, so tired
My body hot-wired

Revved up, wild
Motor refuses to idle

Road blind
Lost in dizzy night

Sirens sputter bright
Inner gears grind

Wanted sleep calls
Inward leaning walls

I go and I go
My body won't slow

Engine smokes
Heart in my throat

Tank on E
Lungs can't breath

Slam the pedal down
I spin, spin around

Horns blare, lights flash,
In the middle of everything...
I crash.
