A Crash at Every Speed

I drive and I drive
And I'm tired of driving
I've given and given
Now it's time to start taking
See the shackles I put myself into
It is a dead weight
I move myself on
Though I take the corners like a pro
I lose it on the straights
It makes no difference to me, fast or slow
I crash at every speed

Every flag I see
[?]
Sounds pitiful, so what?
Then have a knife twisted in your back
By a friend you've picked up
From a dead-end track
But use you dreams to cross the line
I'm the parasite
Damned if I let them this time

So what, I'm never chasing, always running
I always have and always will
I'll walk away from every crash
The ability to survive as a skill
And I was born with it
[?]

[?] hit a wall at one hundred and ten
What can you do then?
[?] Phoenixes they're not
There's a joke in my head
It doesn't translate
It cracks me up better than a vicious twist of fate
