I'm heading toward a train wreck
Slowly losing control
The brakes that usually help
Suddenly lose their appeal
Instead I find myself taking the seat belt off
No longer in need for its kind thought
Faster, my foot hits the floor
No turning back this time
Focusing on the view
Every detail becomes clear
One glance in the rear-view mirror
Farewell to all those whom I deeply love
A silent hope that they won’t hurt but understand
That all the hurting will end tonight
Closer and closer, So many thoughts cross my mind
Increasing speed until I’m feet away
Everything suddenly freezes
All noises cease
In these final moments
All I ask for is peace

I'm heading toward a train wreck
Slowly losing control
The brakes that usually help
Suddenly lose their appeal
Instead I find myself taking the seat belt off
No longer in need for its kind thought
Faster, my foot hits the floor
No turning back this time
Focusing on the view
Every detail becomes clear
One glance in the rear-view mirror
Farewell to all those whom I deeply love
A silent hope that they won’t hurt but understand
That all the hurting will end tonight
Closer and closer, So many thoughts cross my mind
Increasing speed until I’m feet away
Everything suddenly freezes
All noises cease
In these final moments
All I ask for is peace
