Windshield wipers racing fervently
Like erasing a ghost from memory

Tail lights reflect dully in the downpour
Snakes of steam flutter in their wake

Getting lost is easier done than said
An icy doubt seeps through skin

Did I make a wrong turn
Was that the road I was supposed to take

The world is sleeping, but I awake
Aware of high speed details

The exit sign I passed two miles ago
The blood and glass scattered wildly

Signals all to get out now
But still I drive blindly on

Pushing pedals cranking gears
Like nothing in the world is wrong

I smell a rat faintly on the wind
Stench of deceit and betrayal

A warning of what was before
And what is yet to come

But still I drive blindly on
Like nothing in the world can happen

Until the crash and the tears
And the blood and the voices

All asking me asking me
How could I let this happen?

I've hurt before; been stung by love
But still I drive blindly on.
