[Verse 1]
I been on the edge, yeah, you know the line
Phone screen lit up, but I left that decline
Heavy in my chest like a bag of bricks
Smiling for the frame, but my heart don’t click
Same old rooms, same old lies
Same cold stare in my own two eyes
I been too calm for the pain I hide
Now I feel that storm when I touch that drive
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't tell me cool down
I been cooled out
Too long, too long
Now it all comes out
Hands on the wheel
And the pulse goes hard
One more mile
And I might fall apart
[Chorus]
Redline tears, redline tears
I been holding it for years
Redline tears, redline tears
Now it burns when I steer (burns when I steer)
Redline tears, redline tears
I don’t need your empty cheers
Redline tears, redline tears
If I go fast, disappear
[Verse 2]
Mama saw the change in the way I talk
Short fuse, cold jaw, hard step walk
I don’t want peace, I want one clean hit
Something loud enough to crack this grit
Ain’t no halo when I’m in this mood
Ain’t no prayer gonna change my view
I said I’m fine, but that was a lie
I got a whole damn grave in my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't tell me cool down
I been cooled out
Too long, too long
Now it all comes out
Hands on the wheel
And the pulse goes hard
One more mile
And I might fall apart
[Chorus]
Redline tears, redline tears
I been holding it for years
Redline tears, redline tears
Now it burns when I steer (burns when I steer)
Redline tears, redline tears
I don’t need your empty cheers
Redline tears, redline tears
If I go fast, disappear
[Bridge]
I’m not proud of this
I’m just too damaged
Every little wound
Turned into a habit
If I snap tonight
It’s because I tried
To keep a fire down
In a dead-end mind
[Final Chorus]
Redline tears, redline tears
I been holding it for years
Redline tears, redline tears
Now it burns when I steer (burns when I steer)
Redline tears, redline tears
I don’t need your empty cheers
Redline tears, redline tears
If I go fast, disappear
Redline tears, redline tears
I can hear the whole world fear
Redline tears, redline tears
I’m still here, I’m still here
