Hook
Midnight rides, city lights in my rearview
Bottle half gone but the pain still see-through
Talk to myself like the ghost in the seat do
Try to outrun what the hell I been through
Cold wind blowing through a cracked window
Memories hit like a fist in slow-mo
If healing exists I still don’t know
So I light one up and let the night roll
Verse 1
3AM and the road feels endless
Mind full of wars that nobody mentions
Smile on my face but the soul got tension
Every damn thought like a loaded weapon
Mama said pray but the sky stays quiet
Tried to be strong but the pain stays violent
Heart full of storms and I stay the pilot
Flying through hell just to keep on driving
Friends disappeared when the sun went low
Now it’s me and the bottle and the radio
Every damn song got a story I know
Every damn lyric like salt in a wound
Mirror don’t lie but I hate that dude
Ghost of the kid I was staring back too
Dreams turned dust like a match in June
Now all I got left is this midnight view
Hook
Midnight rides, city lights in my rearview
Bottle half gone but the pain still see-through
Talk to myself like the ghost in the seat do
Try to outrun what the hell I been through
Cold wind blowing through a cracked window
Memories hit like a fist in slow-mo
If healing exists I still don’t know
So I light one up and let the night roll
Verse 2
Truth is I’m tired but I keep pretending
Laugh with the crowd but the mask keeps bending
Everyone thinks that the scars keep ending
But some of these cuts never stop their bleeding
Life like a storm I can’t outrun
Every step forward feel like one undone
Dreams used to shine like a rising sun
Now they just flicker when the day is done
If hope’s a light then mine burned low
Lost in the dark where the lost ones go
But I still write cause it helps me cope
Turn broken nights into lines of hope
Maybe one day when the pain lets go
I’ll hear peace in the songs I wrote
Till that day I just drive these roads
With the ghosts in my head and the night turned cold
Verse 3
Headlights cut through the midnight rain
Every mile just circles the same pain
Tried to outrun every scar and stain
But the past rides shotgun in my lane
I remember nights when the world felt bright
When a dream meant more than surviving the night
Now the silence louder than any fight
And the darkness knows me better than light
Every bridge I burned still glows in the dark
Every lost friend left a permanent mark
Tried to rebuild from a shattered heart
But some broken pieces stay torn apart
So I write these lines like a last goodbye
To the younger me that still wonders why
If tomorrow comes and I’m still alive
Maybe hope and I both survive
Final Hook
Midnight rides, city lights in my rearview
Bottle half gone but the pain still see-through
Talk to myself like the ghost in the seat do
Try to outrun what the hell I been through
Cold wind blowing through a cracked window
Memories hit like a fist in slow-mo
If healing exists I still don’t know
So I light one up and let the night roll
