I saw the sign a faded stoplight up ahead
I crossed the line cause I was caught in the middle
caught in the middle
long empty road on damaged tyres with shallow
tread
so far to go I might have lost it a little
lost it a little

dont you stop me now
Im nowhere near my destination
dont you shut me down, cause I dont want to rest

like a maniac I sprinted way off track
then took the long way back
racing at full speed ahead
now Im taciturn I felt the crash and burn
the point of no return
will I be fighting for breath forever

high empty walls the buzz of tube light never fades
my shadow falls and Im now lost for a little
lost for a little
try to relax you may experience delays
I know the facts but now Im caught in the middle
caught in the middle

dont you lock me out
Im sure I know the combination
fragments drift about, but suddenly theyre gone

burning up breaking down (dont want to be)
on the edge all the time (dont want to be)
flaring up freaking down (dont want to be)
half awake half alive, just want to be me

breaking up burning down (dont want to be)
off the edge out of tome (dont want to be)
falling down flaking out (dont want to be)
half asleep half alive, just want to be free

I close my eyes and turn out the lights
cause somebody closed this road
and I cant drive cause now theres nowhere to go
I close my mind, and mine is the night
mine is the longest wait
and here Ill stay til the stoplight eventually fades

dont you keep me down
Im nowhere near my destination
dont you stop me now, cause I dont want to rest
