[Verse 1] Woke up in a stranger's bed again Same face in the mirror, different skin Coffee tastes like someone else's morning Can't recall when I stopped performing Calendar says five years disappeared Still wearing habits I don't remember building here Going through the motions, muscle memory intact But I can't find the moment I agreed to this contract [Chorus] How long have I been asleep at the wheel? Driving somewhere I never chose to feel Days blur together, years slip past Living life on autopilot, going nowhere fast When did I stop deciding? When did I let go? I'm a passenger in my own life and I don't know Where I'm headed or how I got here at all Life on autopilot, waiting for the call [Verse 2] This job just happened, can't remember applying These friends just appeared, not sure we're really trying My routines run like programs I forgot I wrote Conversations scripted from someone else's notes Look around this apartment, nothing feels like mine Just accumulated things along an unmarked line Every choice made by default, path of least resistance Now I'm twenty miles from who I was in the distance [Chorus] How long have I been asleep at the wheel? Driving somewhere I never chose to feel Days blur together, years slip past Living life on autopilot, going nowhere fast When did I stop deciding? When did I let go? I'm a passenger in my own life and I don't know Where I'm headed or how I got here at all Life on autopilot, waiting for the call [Bridge] If I wasn't choosing, then who was in control? Just momentum and inertia playing their role Sleepwalking through seasons I'll never get back Following a route on an invisible track The scariest part isn't that I lost my way It's that I can't remember ever choosing to stay [Verse 3] Timestamp says it's Tuesday but they all feel the same Can't tell if I'm living or just maintaining the frame Going to bed exhausted from existing, not from living Taking everything that comes without the act of giving My preferences automated, my desires on hold Following the script until I'm too damn old But somewhere underneath this autopilot haze There's someone screaming "wake up before you waste your days" [Chorus] How long have I been asleep at the wheel? Driving somewhere I never chose to feel Days blur together, years slip past Living life on autopilot, going nowhere fast When did I stop deciding? When did I let go? I'm a passenger in my own life and I don't know Where I'm headed or how I got here at all Life on autopilot, waiting for the call [Outro] Today I grabbed the wheel, hands shaking on the grip Don't know where I'm going but I'm ending this trip Turning off autopilot even though I'm terrified At least I'll be the one who's actually driving my life At least I'll be awake At least I'll be awake [END]
