[Verse 1 tight, percussive]
I don’t mean to cut you off
Thought hits fast — already gone
Try to wait, I bite my tongue
My head don’t know the word stop
Eyes wide, mind off track
Pulled ahead, then pulled right back
You call chaos, call it wrong
I call trying to hold on
[Pre-Chorus half-time feel]
I’m not careless
I’m not weak
I’m just buried in the noise that you don’t hear
[Chorus big, chantable]
NO BRAKES — train station in my head
Voices scream, lights flash red
NO BRAKES — every thought says go
No direction, no control
NO BRAKES — medicine in my veins
Crowd goes quiet, world goes blank
NO BRAKES — silence fills the space
Now I’m locked inside my brain
[Verse 2 driving, same pocket]
Silence feels like borrowed time
Too damn clean, don’t feel like mine
I can focus, I can breathe
Still afraid of what I’ll be
One more pill, one more day
Cross that line, I slip away
Chasing calm, chasing ground
Till I overload, break down
[Pre-Chorus 2 short hits]
No line
No signs
Just speed inside my mind
[Chorus 2 faster drums]
NO BRAKES — now the trains won’t slow
Flying straight through walls I know
NO BRAKES — heart on fire, mind on blast
Burning fuel I cannot last
NO BRAKES — run until I hit the floor
Nothing left, nothing more
NO BRAKES — funny how I fall apart
Depression waits to play its part
[Bridge (drop - build]
I don’t need fixing
I need release
I’m not a problem
I’m pressure and heat
(build)
Push it harder
Push it deep
Till my body finally sleeps
[Final Chorus full send]
NO BRAKES — train station in my head
Some days loud, some days dead
NO BRAKES — fire, numb, awake
Still moving, no brakes
[Outro stop-start]
No brakes
No brakes
No brakes
Tonenico
