Check Engine Light

A greyhound ran a red going 80 at my temple
Coffee in my veins, drink it black, keep it simple
Last night's buzz cut like surgery, but I'll be okay
Just one more drink I think will take the pain away

Cause' I'm a check engine light, baby and I ain't blinkin' yet
Her names too long to remember, so I just drink to forget
Down on my luck, but my heads up in the clouds
I'm taking off, so it's goodbye for now

The wifi is working, so I'm writing at 30k
My arm feels a touch as the attendant asks my name
I tell her last night's buzz cut like surgery, but I'll be okay
Just one more drink I think will take the pain away
The pain away

Cause' I'm a check engine light, baby and I ain't blinkin' yet
Her names too long to remember, so I just drink to forget
Down on my luck, but my heads up in the clouds
I'm taking off, so it's goodbye for now
(It's goodbye for now)

As my eyes fade to half mast
A tapioca sky reveals itself to me
I touch your leg as if it's mine
But I'm drifting off to sea
In the distance, bridges burn
The smoke ballooning to a cloud
And I'm drifting, slowly shifting
Hand clutching tight to my chest now
My arm begins to tremble
With my eyes still shut like shades
My lungs are filled with black-ish mold
As I crawl forward through the haze
My temples hot, my head engulfs
I am staring at my grave
Graze a skin that feels familiar
And the blackness fades to gray

Cause' I'm a check engine light, baby and I ain't blinkin' yet
Her names too long to remember, so I just drink to forget
Down on my luck, but my heads up in the clouds
I'm taking off, so it's goodbye for now
I'm taking off, so it's goodbye for now
It's goodbye for now
