Light starts in a dark place
The story of a car chase
And I've become the criminal

And fleeing from the scene being caught in a bad dream
The truth becomes the unthinkable, yeah


I'm on the brink of disaster
Staring down the consequences
To break heart would be better

Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail
I'm going there only faster
Jump the gun and throw it into gear

But the fact of the matter
I'm out of control asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel

Out of control asleep at the wheel

Night falls with no grace

I said I can do anything
But I can do anything wrong
And with burning speed the rearview says it's catching up to me

But I'm already gone

I'm on the brink of disaster

Staring down the consequences
To break heart would be better
Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail

I'm going there only faster
Jump the gun and throw it into gear



But the fact of the matter
I'm out of control asleep at the wheel

Asleep at the wheel

Tearing it down to open up the highway

We're looking for an exit
No pretending
Speeding out and around with a silvering smash

Staring at a car crash oh
The chase is ending


I'm on the brink of disaster
Staring down the consequences
To break heart would be better

Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail
I'm going there only faster
Jump the gun and throw it into gear

But the fact of the matter
The end is coming


I'm on the brink of disaster
Staring down the consequences
To break heart would be better

I'm out of control asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel

Asleep at the wheel
Out of control asleep at the wheel
