lyrics

got back from a red eye flight
barreling down Highway 104
across New England I drove
back home
and it felt so alone
somewhere to go
but nowhere at all

no one around to know
if I was heading north or east
when I had to go neither direction
I felt for protection
safety in numbers
number was zero

I didn’t sleep so well last night
you can imagine my line of sight
isn’t so strong like it usually is
thank god I’m the only one with this death machine on the road
I feel so alone

bottle it up and save for the checkpoint
no use in drinking it now
I need an awake escape
to prop my eyes open
keeping those bags airtight
not hoping for another flight
through my windshield tonight
why is it darker?
I thought it was noon
will I find myself another red eye
this soon?

what’s that little dot up ahead?
why is my vision getting red?
is this the end?

officer, I swear I’m fine
haven’t had stimulation since right about 9
influence? I’m sure I’ll spread
when you drag my body across the ground and leave me for dead
