Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Red in my skull All sirens All teeth I choke on the air Too crowded to breathe Every thought is a crash Glass in my throat Hands on the wheel But I'm stuck in the smoke [Chorus] I’ve got traffic lights in my head They keep changing when I’m halfway there Red Amber Green I stall at every scene Can somebody cut these wires in my chest? I’m so tired of almost living Almost dead Traffic lights in my head [Verse 2] Amber again That endless almost Hover in place Like a half-spoken joke I taste the burn Of things I don’t say Static in my mouth Buzzing all day [Chorus] I’ve got traffic lights in my head They keep changing when I’m halfway there Red Amber Green I stall at every scene Can somebody cut these wires in my chest? I’m so tired of almost living Almost dead Traffic lights in my head [Bridge] Green on the dash But my pulse stays slow One foot on the gas One afraid to let go If I crash this time At least I’ll know I finally moved I finally chose [Chorus] I’ve got traffic lights in my head They keep changing when I’m halfway there Red Amber Green I stall at every scene Can somebody cut these wires in my chest? I’m so tired of almost living Almost dead (yeah, almost dead) Traffic lights in my head
