Brink of Disaster

Light starts in a dark place
The story of a car chase
And I've become the criminal
And fleeing from this scene
And being caught in a bad dream
The truth becomes the unthinkable (yeah)

[Chorus]
I'm on the brink of disaster
Staring down the consequences
So brake hard we'll be better
Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail
Going there only faster
Jump the gun and throw it into gear
But the fact of the matter
We're out of control asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
We're 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 rear view says he's catching up to me
But I'm already gone

[Chorus]

Tearing it down to open up the highway
We're looking for exits
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
So brake hard we'll 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

[Chorus]

Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
We're out of control asleep at the wheel
