sometimes late at night
when the stars are out and
desperately trying to shine through
the thick city smog
i think about things
about God, about you, about life
sometimes when i can't sleep
i wonder what would happen if
i took my life in my hands
and let it fall
because let's think about it!
i have to power to kill myself
or keep myself alive
it's so easy to die
so hard to live
and i wonder
what would happen
if i pulled the steering wheel
because late at night
i want to pull the steering wheel
i need to pull the steering wheel
i can't pull the steering wheel
because as soon as i notice myself swerving
i stop and correct my trajectory
because pulling the steering
wouldn't be enough
it's just not
effective
