Fighting For Breath

I saw the sign
A faded stop light up ahead
I crossed the line
Because I was caught in the middle caught in the middle
Long empty road
On damaged tyres with shallow tread
So far to go
I might have lost it a little lost it a little

Don’t you stop me now
I’m nowhere near my destination
Don’t you shut me down
Because I don’t want to rest

Like a maniac I sprinted way off track
Then took the long way back
Racing at full speed ahead
Now I’m taciturn I felt the crash and burn
The point of no return
Will I be fighting for breath forever

High empty walls
The buzz of tube lights never fades
My shadow falls
And now I’m lost for a little lost for a little
Try to relax
You may experience delays
I know the facts
But now I’m caught in the middle caught in the middle

Don’t you lock me out
I’m sure I know the combination
Fragments drift about
But suddenly they’re gone

Burning up breaking down don’t want to be
On the edge all the time don’t want to be
Flaring up freaking out don’t want to be
Half awake half alive just want to be me

Breaking up burning down don’t want to be
Off the edge out of time don’t want to be
Falling down flaking out don’t want to be
Half asleep half alive just want to be free

I close my eyes and turn out the lights
Because somebody closed this road
And I can’t drive because now there’s nowhere to go
I close my mind and mine is the night
Mine is the longest wait
And here I’ll stay til the stop light eventually fades

Don’t you keep me down
I’m nowhere near my destination
Don’t you stop me now
Because I don’t want to rest

Threshold

Dead Reckoning
