Lyrics

Dead Reckoning

[Verse]

Flying through the dark

Dead reckoning

My gages can't be trusted

Can't see a goddamn thing

I know the day is coming

That catches up with me

I told you you're no match

But then who could be?

Thought we were the lonely type

On an island of the lost

But it was only me

Because you got off

[Outro]

I can't change you

I can't change anyone
