[Verse 1]
Brakes on, brakes on, the car is runnin' empty
Brakes on, brakes on, the car is runnin' empty
Downhill, head-on, this crash is comin' slowly
Downhill, head-on, this crash is comin' slowly

[Pre-Chorus]
Move
Or watch the slow death of your way of life

[Chorus 1]
There's a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And it keeps us here

[Verse 2]
My ears, my eyes, my brain is slowly bustin'
Black smoke, red sky, the television's sayin'
Downhill, head-on, another crash is comin'
Downhill, head-on, another crash is comin'

[Pre-Chorus]
Move
Or watch the murder of you way of life
[Chorus 2]
There's a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And the less we know
The more we sit still
My baby's stuck on a road
That leads to nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

[Bridge]
Brakes on, brakes on
Brakes on, brakes on
Brakes on

[Chorus 2]
There's a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And the less we know
The more we sit still, sit still
My baby's stuck on a road
That leads to nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
