Autopilot Off

She knows how to tidy up
She keeps it picture perfect
You won't find one thing out of place
She knows how to stay hush-hush
She can keep a secret
Locked up and hidden far away
Something inside is bleeding
I know she's dying to get out and leave this all behind
And the lights go out and leave you blind
And a million times a day
She goes driving past that exit sign.

He hangs out in hospitals
He's done his share of waiting
Holding on, hoping for the best
He sees pictures in his head
Walking on broken bottles
He sleeps but never gets to rest
Something inside is bleeding
I know he's dying to get out and leave this all behind
And the lights go out and leave you blind.
And a million times a day
He goes driving past that exit sign.

It takes you over
(I know it)
It drags you under
I know there are times when all you know
that all you want is time to let you go
because you need some control,
but don't you go out and leave this all behind
Because the lights go out and leave you blind
And I know you'll find some space
Just keep driving past those exit signs.

There's static in the atmosphere
A constant interference that is killing me
I'm losing the connection here
And all the frequencies are down
And this silence seems so loud

That's why
This system shorted out
Programmed restraint before the shutting down
This system shorted our
memory fails during the crashing down.

I'm screaming at the satellites
I'm watching all the screens go black in front of me.
I'm sending out a prayer tonight
Because all the frequencies are down
and this silence seems so loud.

And as it's starting to fade out
And as we're heading underground
There is a pessimistic side of me that knows that this
might never turn itself around.
