Cover art for sleep lyrics by Story of the Year

I think it's like when you just want to run away. Like when soemthing hurts you or breaks your heart so you just get in your car and drive and don't have anywhere to go. Like the "asleep at the wheel" part is when your not even driving like your brain is on auto pilot and you just know you have to keep moving or else.
