take the wheel
pull to the side of the road
and let me fall asleep

i have grown tired
of waiting for tomorrow
of pretending it will get better
when reality favors repetition

turn off the engine
lock all of the doors
and let me dream

i have always envisioned
a home dressed in evergreen
a hiway full of emerald lights
now forever seems temporary

switch the gears
delete the radio stations
and let me remain dazed

i have nothing left
no strength to continue
no preminiton to drive
only this desolation

four flat tires
an empty gas tank
and no ability to awake
