Brink of Disaster Lyrics
Light starts in a dark place
The story of a car chase
And I've become the criminal
Fleeing from the scene
And being caught in a bad dream
The truth becomes the unthinkable
I'm on the brink of disaster
Staring down the consequences
To brake hard would be better
Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail
Going there only faster
Jump the gun and throw it into gear
But the fact of that matter,
I'm out of control, asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
I'm out of control, asleep at the wheel
Night falls with no grace
I said I can do anything
But I can do anything wrong
And with burning speed
The rear view says it's catching up to me
But I'm already gone
I'm on the brink of disaster
Staring down the consequences
To brake hard would be better
Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail
Going there only faster
Jump the gun and throw it into gear
But the fact of the matter,
I'm out of control, asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Tearing it down to open up the highway
We're looking for an exit
No pretending
Speeding down and around
With a sobering smash
Starting at a car crash
Oh, the chase is ending
I'm on the brink of disaster
Staring down the consequences
To brake hard would be better
Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail
Going there only faster
Jump the gun and throw it into gear
But the fact of the matter
The end is coming
I'm on the brink of disaster
Staring down the consequences
To brake hard would be better
I'm out of control, asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
I'm out of control, asleep at the wheel
The story of a car chase
And I've become the criminal
Fleeing from the scene
And being caught in a bad dream
The truth becomes the unthinkable
Staring down the consequences
To brake hard would be better
Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail
Jump the gun and throw it into gear
But the fact of that matter,
I'm out of control, asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
I'm out of control, asleep at the wheel
I said I can do anything
But I can do anything wrong
And with burning speed
The rear view says it's catching up to me
But I'm already gone
Staring down the consequences
To brake hard would be better
Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail
Jump the gun and throw it into gear
But the fact of the matter,
I'm out of control, asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
We're looking for an exit
No pretending
With a sobering smash
Starting at a car crash
Oh, the chase is ending
Staring down the consequences
To brake hard would be better
Tonight I'll do what it takes to fail
Jump the gun and throw it into gear
But the fact of the matter
The end is coming
Staring down the consequences
To brake hard would be better
I'm out of control, asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
Asleep at the wheel
I'm out of control, asleep at the wheel

I'm pretty sure that lyrics say:
"I'm out of control, asleep at the wheel".
amazing new song.
shut up its already there freak.
i kinda thought it said "to brake hard would be better" cause like it has all the car metaphors
I love this song.
And I agree, I think the lyrics say "to break hard would be better" too.
And the lyrics also go..
"Speeding down and around with a sobering smash STARING AT a car crash"
:]
I changed my mind. I think it actually says "So brake hard, we'll be better." :]
Eh, nevermind. "To break hard would be better" sounds more accurate. But it sounds cool either way. Haha
I also think it goes:"to break hard would be better." This song is soo great.
