Auto-Immobile

Two eyes open but the third one's closed

Auto-Immobile
-
How did you know?
How did you know?
It's not a secret I've ever told.
-
How did you know?
How did you know?
That's a bit personal.
-
How did you know?
How did you know?
I'm at the helm but have no control.
-
How did you know?
How did you know?
I'm parked in the middle of the road.
-
Let God take the wheel
But not the gas.
I've got no drive,
Rolling nowhere fast.
-
I'm in idle with the engine revved.
Burning rubber as I thin the treads.
Spin the tires til the rim is red,
Glowing embers, nearly molten lead.
-
Stare at the rear view.
Look at the reflection.
The past is trapped
In my recollection.
-
Warning: Objects in the mirror
Are closer than they appear.
So you best start to prepare
While you've still got time to spare.
-
Come on in, the door's unlocked.
Let's go for a ride, I'll take you where you want.
But I'm a person, not a vehicle.
Don't get pushed down like a gas pedal.
-
I ought to slam the brakes.
Eject the passengers.
Open the trunk.
Kick out the furniture.
-
Take the keys and reclaim the road.
Own the path. Decide where I go.
I need to be responsible.
But how can I? I have no goals.
-
How do I know who I am?
When I'm defined by what I can?
Identify the year and brand,
Make and model to guide my hand.
-
I'm a car, but I shouldn't be.
I need to set boundaries.
I'd love to help, but I'm not a taxi.
But I'll do what I can. Try not to backseat.
