Seatbelts Twisting
I took a turn and got myself lost off a dead end
The brakes gave out
Jammed all at once
We're hittin 30 miles and cruising
I find pot holes
So damn many,
Breaks in the asphalt
Junk and litter lie around
They shutter as I pass crusing at 45
Rerouting
Rerouting
We're approaching a steep decline
We still have a few miles
Keep coasting.. I see it
Don't take me back there
My head feels like fog lights
I can't breathe there
Headlights don't work there
Slam the brakes
Reflex
They're shot
We left a trail of fluid
I see it now in the rear view
Our speed picks up
We broke 50 about half a second ago
Rev to 74
Groans like hell
I can't see anything infront of me
The heat won't turn off
Every valve in the engine is clogged
Rerouting
The speed picks up
Rerouting
Pot hole
We made air that time
We're at 102 in seconds
Emergency brake
Snap
No no
I think it's working
Swallow it down
55

Fumes release
Burning my eyes
My lungs
Can't catch my breath
It unclogged
We're moving
The accelerators pinned
45
68
97
120
Critical heat
The rear view is black
We have been here before
I took out that sign a while back
Crushed
Theres marks on the road
Leading elsewhere
Dead ends
145
The steering wheel is shaking
My hands
Wet leather gloves
Pot
Hole
Our tire caught the road
Convulsion
Twisting against metal
One distinct sound
GPS signal lost
Connection lost
The tire rod snapped
Drivers side critical
The world's upside down
Theres glass on the road
Around me
My face is warm
Wet
Hot
Dripping
My heads spinning
The air bag didn't deploy this time.
Did our seat belt snag-
The brakes gave out
Jammed all at once
We're hittin 30 miles and cruising

So damn many,
