[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
