Lyrics
One more round
Then one more lie
Keys in my fist
Unsteady I try
Bar light faded
Blurred to black
I heard the joke
And laughed it back
You said call home
I said I'm fine
I fed the horror
One drink at a time
My hands were shaking
My chest was numb
I chose the road
A decision so dumb
White knuckles
Blazing pulse
Dash line spinning
Cold and false
Headlights blind
A wrong turn
A limp and wavy spine
The truth I spurned
I took the wheel
I took the wreck
I took their lives
Now I can't forget
Head through glass
Head through glass
I hear their screams
As I fade to black
I took the wheel
I took the wreck
Now I wear the chain
Around my neck
Head-on flash
A crush I feel
The front end folded
Pile of twisted steel
The father's chest
Pinned to the wheel
His dead eyes wide
Not my only kill
The wife went through
The shattered shield
A spiral of glass
Her torn up body in the field
Child-seat buckles
Shredded apart
Horns in the dark
No blood in their heart
Screaming tires
Broken glass
Heartbeat pounding
Too fast, too fast
Hands on wreckage
Knees in mud
I smelled the smoke
And tasted blood
I took the wheel
I took the wreck
I took their lives
Now I can't forget
Head through glass
Head through glass
I hear their screams
As I fade to black
I took the wheel
I took the wreck
Now I wear the chain
Around my neck
Guilt crawls in
Through my soul
Names in my head
Bare a heavy toll
Every mirror
Shows their face
Every breath I take
Is a curse in place
No mercy here
No clean slate
Just the sound of a family
I erased
Hit
The brake
Too late
Gore in the cab
Glass in the face
Road cut red
No place to pray
Hit
The brake
Too late
I chose the bottle
I caused this death
I took the wheel
I took the wreck
I took their lives
Now I can't forget
Head through glass
Head through glass
I hear their screams
As I fade to black
I took the wheel
I took the wreck
Now I wear the chain
Around my neck
