lyrics

Well I've learned that pride comes before the fall.
So I suggest you hit the brakes before you hit the wall.

You're heavy-footed on the gas pedal,
Heading for a crash that'll settle what you said before.
And all the problems that you'd find,
Make me think that all this time it made you happy,
You just keep asking for more.

There's no such thing as invincibility,
And you're much too close for comfort,
To the things that make wonder why you beg for sensibility,
When you've thrown it away so long ago,
And you swear that I don't know,
As you're swerving off the road.

I know it's hard to stay in control,
And I know that saving face is just as difficult.

You're moving forward in the fast lane,
And never looking back to the past to what you learned before.
It seems to me that what you'd see would give you warning.
I believe it would be wiser to just put the brake to the floor.

There's no such thing as invincibility,
And you're much too close for comfort,
To the things that make wonder why you beg for sensibility,
When you've thrown it away so long ago,
And you swear that I don't know.
There's no such thing as immutability,
And the brake line must be busted,
Seems to me we shouldn't trust that,
Things can change.
But soon you will believe,
You're headed for a train set in its tracks.
And I feel bad for you now,
Brace for impact.

(There's no such thing...)

Yeah, you saw your words are tied to the tracks.
We'll be here all night long.
And if you want a conclusion here's a futile illusion.
The words you never spoke was your only hope.
You speak in broken, practiced tongues.
Just set the script down and go show your teeth,
Dissecting every word with a fine comb,
A sick sense and apparatus of apathy.
A sick sense of apathy.
