Teeth on the Wheel by Nightshiftradio - Zona

Lyrics

VERSE 1

I’ve been living like a warning sign taped to a broken door,

Half a heartbeat from combustion, half a prayer from wanting more.

Every streetlight flickers like it knows what I’ve been hiding,

So I floor it just to drown the thoughts I’m tired of fighting.

Yeah, the night’s got claws and it’s dragging me out,

But I bite back harder when I’m filled with doubt.

I’m a spark in a gas leak, a dare in the dark,

A runaway engine with a flame for a heart.

PRE‑CHORUS

And I don’t slow down when the fear kicks in —

I let it sharpen every place I’ve been.

If the world wants quiet, I’ll give it a scream,

If the road wants blood, it can take it from me.

CHORUS

So I keep my teeth on the wheel, knuckles white with the thrill,

Let the whole damn city hear the echo of my will.

If the brakes give out, then I’ll ride the collapse,

’Cause I’m done being gentle with the weight on my back.

Yeah, I tear through the dark just to feel something real —

I’m alive, I’m unhinged, I’ve got teeth on the wheel.

VERSE 2

I’ve been stitched up with lightning, wired tight with regret,

But the cracks in my armor make the best silhouette.

Every ghost in my rearview keeps begging me to slow,

But I’m done letting memories tell me where I can go.

I’m a storm with a pulse, a fuse begging to blow,

A truth I’ve been choking on finally letting go.

If the night wants a monster, I’ll give it a feast —

I’m the howl in the engine, the rise of the beast.

PRE‑CHORUS

And I don’t back down when the fear kicks in —

I let it carve out every place I’ve been.

If the world wants silence, I’ll give it a roar,

If the edge wants company, I’ll settle the score.

CHORUS

So I keep my teeth on the wheel, knuckles white with the thrill,

Let the whole damn city hear the echo of my will.

If the brakes give out, then I’ll ride the collapse,

’Cause I’m done being gentle with the weight on my back.

Yeah, I tear through the dark just to feel something real —

I’m alive, I’m unhinged, I’ve got teeth on the wheel.

BRIDGE

No map, no mercy, no turning around —

Just the hum of the engine and the shake of the ground.

If the fall is coming, then I’ll dive headfirst,

’Cause the fear of standing still is always worse.

FINAL CHORUS

Teeth on the wheel, heart on the line,

If the night wants fire, then the fire is mine.

I’ll burn through the dark just to prove that I feel —

I’m alive, I’m electric, I’ve got teeth on the wheel.
