I'm not driving anymore


Turn the wipers on
wipe away the mud
I'm not driving
anymore.

The street lights are shining bright
the voices call me on
but my shadow
doesn't strike the floor.

Can somebody paint me a picture
and leave it in the road
where i can stumble across it
before i quit
this frightful show.

It doesn't have to be a Renoir
or even a blue Picasso
just a normal little place
somewhere quiet
for me to go.

So turn the wipers on
wipe away the mud
I'm not driving
anymore.

... I'm not driving anymore
It's getting dark, too dark to see
Feel like i'm knocking on heaven's door...
This is the association that popped up in my head...

Morpheus
I loved the lines you wrote, especially the second verse":

The street lights are shining bright
the voices call me on
but my shadow
doesn't strike the floor.

I felt a sadness to this, and almost remorse. It is almost like existing in life, and yet not quite 'living' life. Wonderful write..
