The Brakes Are Gone - Ray Wilson

The brakes are gone

And the less I think about it, the better

It only makes me feel what I don’t want to feel

Holding onto memories of you

Save me, save me from myself, please

The fear I have is real fear

That everyone and everything feels

It’s not a love thing

It’s like a special gift to me

Something I wanted

But left behind and never found again

The sentence doesn’t fit the crime

Imprisoned by the gift of time

And knowing I’m alone again tonight

Awake me, I sleep inside this memory

I need to find a new dawn

A sun that lights this misery

It’s not a love thing

It’s like a special wish to me

Something I wanted but left behind

And never found again

And I can see it so clear

I know it’s there I try to bring it near

I only wanted to believe and hold on

The special feeling’s all I have

I really feel the meaning of

Inner strength might fall away but

I know I’ll get it back some day

And I can see it so clear

I know it’s there I try to bring it near

I only wanted to believe and hold on

The brakes are gone

And the less I think about it, the better
