Name: Asleep At The Wheel
Duration: P00H04M23S
Description: This song is about the world burning the goddamn ground. It's about the things we leave behind for those who follow. I'm simply asking those who don't care to come down and sleep in the fire with all of us that are struggling to get by everyday. It's about the perspective of our civilization, involving those on the top and bottom. Please come down before it's too late.

lyrics

Watch the world burn
Cause you never seem to learn
Ashes on the ground
while the world came crashing down

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You fell asleep at the wheel
lost in the thoughts you concealed
afraid that you will never live in a world like you did
we never asked for this
we never wanted this
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You pushed everyone away and watched as
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We got lost along the way
Watched our efforts go to waste
you flushed this planet down the drain and left us nothing

YOU THINK YOU HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT?
MERCY WILL DRIVE US TO FALL APART
WE LOST CONNECTION WITH EVERYTHING
WE PUSH AND WE PULLED AND WE WATCHED AS YOU LOST CONTROL

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE COME DOWN FROM YOUR TOWERS OF IVORY
PLEASE COME DOWN AND SHOW US ENTIRELY

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, WHO KILLED THE WORLD?
ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL, YOU KILLED US ALL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We got lost along the way
Watched our efforts go to waste
you flushed this planet down the drain and left us nothing

YOU THINK YOU HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT?
MERCY WILL DRIVE US TO FALL APART

PLEASE COME DOWN
PLEASE COME DOWN
PLEASE COME DOWN

FROM YOUR TOWERS OF IVORY
PLEASE COME DOWN
SHOW US ENTIRELY WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF
