Drive Lyrics
When chaos reigns without a purpose
When the swell of sound becomes too much
Crushed between the cogs that work us
When I feel I'm slowly losing touch
CHORUS
Sometimes I drive to run from all my demons
Sometimes I drive so I can be alone
Sometimes I drive to see the world in different light
Sometimes I drive for no reason at all
When the walls close in around me
When the ceiling's caving in
When anxiety surrounds me
When my patience is wearing thin
(CH)
The open road unwinds before me
An onyx ribbon spreading out
No idea where I'll be going
Sometimes the journey is what counts
(CHx2)
When the swell of sound becomes too much
Crushed between the cogs that work us
When I feel I'm slowly losing touch
Sometimes I drive to run from all my demons
Sometimes I drive so I can be alone
Sometimes I drive to see the world in different light
Sometimes I drive for no reason at all
When the ceiling's caving in
When anxiety surrounds me
When my patience is wearing thin
An onyx ribbon spreading out
No idea where I'll be going
Sometimes the journey is what counts

I love to listen to this song in the car, to remind myself to calm down and enjoy the journey that is life. Meditation is vital to finding peace.
Looks like Mr. Shear likes to drive.
Gotta agree with the above 2 posts.
Can't think of a better song to be listened to while driving.
I love the terse imagery of these lyrics. My highlights:
"crushed between the cogs that work us" machine gears imagery, life as an oppressive machine
The road as an "onyx ribbon spreading out"
