Lyrics The Brakes Are Gone - Ray Wilson

The Brakes Are Gone

The brakes are gone
And the less I think about it, the better
It only makes me feel what I don’t want to feel
Holding onto memories of you
Save me, save me from myself, please
The fear I have is real fear
That everyone and everything feels
It’s not a love thing
It’s like a special gift to me
Something I wanted
But left behind and never found again
The sentence doesn’t fit the crime
Imprisoned by the gift of time
And knowing I’m alone again tonight
Awake me, I sleep inside this memory
I need to find a new dawn
A sun that lights this misery
It’s not a love thing
It’s like a special wish to me
Something I wanted but left behind
And never found again
And I can see it so clear
I know it’s there I try to bring it near
I only wanted to believe and hold on
The special feeling’s all I have
I really feel the meaning of
Inner strength might fall away but
I know I’ll get it back some day
And I can see it so clear
I know it’s there I try to bring it near
I only wanted to believe and hold on
The brakes are gone
And the less I think about it, the better
