Voices In Control

I woke up doing eighty

With no memory of the road

Got my hands around the wheel

But something else is in control

Who's driving?

I got ambition in the passenger seat

Screaming faster, there's a life you gotta beat

Fear's in the mirror saying turn around now

Ego's out the window yelling look at me now Anger's kicking holes

into the dash

Memory keeps reaching from the backseat for the past

Everybody's talking, nobody agrees And every damn voice in this car sounds

like me I make the money— Spend the money—

Need the money— Hate

the money— I tell myself I'm free while following the signs A

hundred different voices and they're all wearing mine

Every turn looks like a choice Till you hear another voice Every

road I swear I chose How the hell'd I get this close

To somewhere I don't wanna go?

FEMALE: WHO'S DRIVING? I got both hands on the wheel MALE:

Then why can't I decide what's real?

FEMALE: WHO'S DRIVING? I swear I'm choosing where I go MALE: Then

who's whispering, "Don't slow down"?

BOTH: If this is my life,

if these are my hands If those are my footprints,

where the hell am I?

WHO'S DRIVING?

Success grabbed the wheel,

said I'll get you there I said where?

He said doesn't matter,

they're staring

I chased numbers till the numbers started chasing me Built myself a

cage and called it destiny Wanted more— Got more— Need more— WHAT

FOR?

Every finish line moved when I arrived

Every new me swore the next one was alive

I buried yesterday underneath tomorrow

Tomorrow showed up asking what I borrowed

Every voice wants something now Every one knows where and how One

says run and one says stay One says throw your life away

If they're all inside my head Who decides which one gets fed?

MALE: Ambition says MORE Fear says NO Ego says MAKE SURE EVERYBODY

KNOWS

Impulse says COME ON

Reason says HOLD ON

And I say—

SHUT

THE

FUCK

UP!

FEMALE: WHO'S DRIVING? I GOT BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL!

MALE: I don't need fear telling me what to feel!

BOTH: WHO'S DRIVING? I'm done asking where to go!

I'll take the wrong road if I pick it myself I'd rather

lose my way than follow somebody else!

My life! My mistakes!

My road! My brakes!

BOTH: WHO'S DRIVING? WHO'S

DRIVING? WHO'S DRIVING? MALE: I

am.
