I've been driving on this highway trying to search for some sort of sign,

I've shut off the car radio so that I can have some piece of mind,

But I'll be honest with you, I don't know which exit road I'm supposed to find,

All I know is that I'm trying to leave my toxic past behind.


No matter how fast I drive, my past seems to catch up on my tail,

I've heard rumors of a land of new life but I think that ship has sailed,

I feel imprisoned in my own web of fuck-ups and I don't have enough potential to make bail,

But I'll keep on driving along these roads because I'm determined not to fail,


On this road of no destination, I don't mind switching lanes,

The idea of becoming a better me is the only goal I have in frame,

I don't care how I do it but I'm going to win life's twisted game,

I just hope I can make it out alive without going insane.
