Late  night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red  light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My  world goes black before I feel  an angel lift me up
 And I open  bloodshot eyes into  fluorescent white
 They flip  the siren, hit the lights, close  the doors and I am gone
Now  I lay here owing my life to a stranger
 And I realize that empty  words are not enough
 I'm left  here with the question of just
What  have I to show except the promises  I never kept?
 I lie  here shaking on this bed, under  the weight of my regrets
 ]
I  hope that I will never let you down
I  know that this can be more than just flashing lights  and sound
Look  around and you'll see that at times it feels  like no one really cares
 It gets  me down but I'm still gonna try  to do what's right, I  know that there's
 A difference between sleight  of hand, and giving  everything you have
There's  a line drawn in the sand, I'm  working up the will to cross it and
Rhetoric  can't raise the dead
 I'm sick of always talking  when there's no change
Rhetoric  can't raise the dead
 I'm sick of empty  words, let's lead and  not follow
Late  night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
Red  light, can't stop so I spin the wheel
My  world goes black before I feel  an angel steal me from the
Greedy  jaws of death and chance, and pull  me in with steady hands
 They've given  me a second chance, the artist  in the ambulance
 Can we pick  you off  the ground,  more than flashing lights  and sound
