[Intro]
Rain on the tin roof
Ash on my black boots
Mask on, eyes red
[low vocal register] Breathing with the dead
[Chorus]
Graveyard throttle, I ride slow
Demons in the backseat, they won’t go
Heartbeat knocking like a front door
If I hit the gas, you won’t see me anymore
Graveyard throttle, I ride slow
Voices in my head on that echo
Hands on the wheel, eyes hollow
If I hit the gas, you ain’t ready for tomorrow
[Verse 1]
Skull on the gearshift, teeth on the chain
Rust on the plates, still swerving in the rain (skrrt)
Black tape cross on the dash like a warning
Hood up, hood out, I’m a storm in the morning
Cig burn holes in the passenger seat
Polaroids stacked with the faces I keep
Whole block quiet when I slide past creeping
Neighbors lock doors, curtains start peeking
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Ashtray full, but the sins run deeper
Eyes in the mirror make the night look cheaper
Cold steel tucked where the hand rest sits
If the past pull up, I just let that rip (brra)
Tires talk back when the road gets slick
Grin too wide, got the devil seasick
Engine hum low like a funeral chant
Try to outrun pain, but I really just can’t
[Bridge]
Handprints all on the fogged glass
Every red light feel like a flashback
Speed up, slow down, same track
[whispered vocals] You can’t ever turn back
[Chorus]
