My soul burnt and cold
Smell of burning rubber against the road
Sight of tail lights in the pitch dark
Echo of the fading acceleration lost in the night
I'm going going gone...
That's all I can think
I hit the highway at 130mph
Leave it all behind
Headed anywhere but here
It doesn't seem to matter what I do
Doesn't matter what I feel or say
Because as I leave
I'm already D.O.A.
Under the starlight
You fall off to sleep
Lay in your bed peacefully asleep
Think about the perfect life
While I'm a hundred miles away from here by now
I can't leave this behind
Don't want to, but I can't stay
You lay asleep in your bed quiet and content
You're gonna think I'm mad
But I'm not
I wish I could look in your eyes
Show you how I felt inside
Unwrap my soul
Exposed to feel the heat it once had
You'd then see that I can't be mad
This heart and soul are burning cold
Lost in a world without light
Reality sets back in and I'm, I'm...going, going, gone
It doesn't seem to matter what I do
Doesn't matter what I feel or say
Because as I leave
I'm already D.O.A.

It doesn't seem to matter what I do
Doesn't matter what I feel or say

I'm already D.O.A.
