Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can´t stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel lift me up
And I open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
They flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and I am gone

Now I lay here owing my life to a stranger
And I realize that empty words are not enough
I´m left here with the question of just
What have I to show except the promises I never kept?
I lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets

I hope that I will never let you down
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound

Look around and you´ll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
It gets me down but I´m still gonna try to do what´s right, I know that there´s
A difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
There´s a line drawn in the sand, I´m working up the will to cross it and

I hope that I will never let you down
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound

Rhetoric can´t raise the dead
I´m sick of always talking when there´s no change
Rhetoric can´t raise the dead
I´m sick of empty words, let´s lead and not follow

Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red light, can´t stop so I spin the wheel
My world goes black before I feel an angel steal me from the
Greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
They´ve given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance

I hope that I will never let you down
I know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound

Can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound
