I wanted the power- I wanted control,
That bottomless glass had taken its toll.
My senses were astray; I just couldn't think,
I'd obviously had a bit much to drink.

I went out that night, to have a good time,
Did I ever commit such a terrible crime?
As my drunken feet led me to the car,
It just never came across me I'd gone too far.

So here I am driving down this quiet street,
I'm not even hearing the speedometer creak.
My brain begins to panic-I'm going too fast,
What about my future, what about my past?

My mommy's probably waiting; wondering where I am,
She doesn't even know I'm just about to-- .
SLAM! The world around me shatters; glass pours upon my skin,
I'm hit with sudden pain- my face wiped of any grin.

Although I know I'm gone and never will be back,
I cry a single tear before it all turns black.
Peace washes over me like the calmness of the sea,
I spread my graceful wings and soon I'm flying free.

My parents crumple, they sob as I go,
Because of this mistake they'll never see me grow.
