Autopilot

I work forty hours or even more
I sure can use the overtime
Got more bills than ever before
Seems like I'm always behind

But when I try to chart a course
I get lost every single time

I wanna fly away
But I don't know where I'm going
Fly away
Can this really be the end?
All the times I've tried to run
I couldn't get anywhere on autopilot

Follow your dreams they always say
But they don't seem to realize
It's so hard living day to day
Feeling lucky just to be alive

But when I try to change my course
I get lost every single time

I wanna fly away
But I don't know where I'm going
Fly away
Can this really be the end?
All the times I've tried to run
I couldn't get anywhere on autopilot

Every time I'm clear for the runway
All my plans get pushed back to someday
Dreams delayed won't last too long
Don't know how to stand so strong
Getting ready for another Monday

I wanna fly away
But I don't know where I'm going
Fly away
Can this really be the end?
All the times I've tried to run
I couldn't get anywhere on autopilot

Autopilot

Never have I ever rocked the boat, she said
I've never had to swim, but I know how to float
And never have I ever lost a dare
I can always tell the truth and nobody cares

You don't believe me when I say it's broken
You don't believe me when I say I can't
You only feed me underneath the table
And say your prayers for the wretched and the damned

Well baby keep your eyes down
And keep your nose clean, don't try to fight it
I know you're stuck on autopilot
And no there won't be no crown
When you finally hear the screams and see the violence
Just keep on cruisin' on autopilot

I really really wanna hold your hand, she said
I've only ever sat here, you're so brave to stand
And is she really really gonna help me up
From where I've fallen on the pavement, will it be enough

You don't believe me when I say the game's rigged
You don't believe me when I lose again
You only see me in the storefront windows
And in the glimmer of the trophy that you'll win

So baby keep your eyes down
And keep your nose clean, don't try to fight it
I know you're stuck on autopilot
And no there won't be no crown
When you finally hear the screams and see the violence
Just keep on cruisin' on autopilot

But you wouldn't get anywhere without me (just remember)
You wouldn't get, wouldn't get to be free (just remember)
You wouldn't get anywhere without me
Without me, you wouldn't be
You'd be in the dirt on your knees

So baby keep your eyes down
And keep your nose clean, don't try to fight it
I know you're stuck on autopilot
And no there won't be no crown
When you finally hear the screams and see the violence
Just keep on cruisin' on autopilot

Autopilot
by Johnny Cashpoint

On your grindr
You list carplay
I'm distracted and somewhat attracted so
On my phone I'm tapping away

Arrange meet up
In a car park
It'll be sweet we'll keep it discreet
After dark do it in the dark
In the dark ....

Autopilot autopilot
On my way to fleshy pileup
Autopilot autopilot
Cannot wait to check your mileage

I cant see you
When im driving
Mind is elsewhere, you need healthcare
I hit you, and now you're dying

Autopilot autopilot
victim of one person pileup
Autopilot autopilot
Must admit there is some mileage

SOLO
Autopilot autopilot
Watching your limp body spiral
Autopilot autopilot
On my bonnet, proves enticing
Autopilot autopilot
I am sexually broad-minded
Autopilot autopilot
So The journey's not been wasted

# autopilot - starfinger
The needle slips into a groove
And though the world spins slowly out of tune
The needle soldiers on
And the world hears something like a song

The rockets burn in retrograde
Recalling times when paths were planned
Perhaps it's time to stir the crew
And find out where the ship has landed

It's not every day
That feels like this
When the stars draw lines across the sky
You blink and the journey is done

It's not every day
That feels like this
One minute you're feeding a baby
You blink and the child has grown

I'm on autopilot

The liquor delivers a pleasant burn
The vapor trail dissolves into the clouds
i see sunlight amid the parting of the fog

But The needle skips out of the groove
The music mocks its former self
Looping fragments like the beating of a dog


It's not every day
That feels like this
When the fight is over before it's begun
You blink and the battle is won

It's not every day
That feels like this
When the record is bliss
You blink and the song is done

I'm on autopilot

Autopilot
By Pulpo Jamon

Road stretched out
Engines moaned
Miles away from home

Brains been blasted
Battery's gone
I can't make it alone

I place my faith in machines around me
Cuz I don't trust what's in my head
Autopilot

These roads are easy
I can drive them in my sleep
And I'd arrive in flames

Flip the switch
I'm turning on
This Frankenstein we made

I place my faith in machines around me
Cuz I can't trust what's in my head
Autopilot
