Everybody is confined
I watch the cars drive by
The passengers are confined by seat belts
The seat belts are confined to the car
The cars are confined to the lanes
Even the voices on my radio are confined to the speakers
I watch the trees
They are confined to the Earth
Their golden leaves are confined to the branches
The dog at the corner is confined to its leash
It's owner is confined to his cell phone
When I finally make it the highway
I am still confined to the speed limit
Finally ahead of traffic
Breaking the confines of the law
I push the speed higher and higher
One pole, two poles, three poles
Which one does fate choose tonight
Sadness is a odd state of mind
Combine it with fear and it is exhilarating
Is Death instantaneous
Do you linger for a moment before crossing
Is there the other side or just ample oblivion
Oh so many curious questions
No more anger, heart ache and bills
No more let downs and crying and pain
Oh the relief this will bring
But what if I don't die
What evil torturous let down will that be
To know I was so close but denied
Then the depression I have now will be nothing in comparison
I will be in agony
Better not take the chance
Better slow down
I would not want to be confined like that
