Intro
Windows cry when I don’t
Ashtray full of memories I won’t smoke
Dashboard glowin’ like a ghost in the glass
Highway hummin’ songs about the past
Verse 1
Rearview full of faces I outdrove
Every mile another name I let go
Silence sittin’ heavy in the passenger seat
Radio static soundin’ like defeat
Chorus
Darkness always has been my peace
The night hums soft, lets my worries cease
I ride alone but I don’t feel lost
Every shadow’s warmth comes without cost
Verse 2
Tires hiss like they’re whisperin’ names
Every exit sign burns the same
I been drivin’ through the echoes of mistakes
Where love turns cold and memory breaks
Gravel hums like a funeral hymn
I shook hands with the dark and let it in
Found a quiet in the places light won’t go
Learned the language only shadows know
Chorus
Darkness always has been my peace
The night hums soft, lets my worries cease
I ride alone but I don’t feel lost
Every shadow’s warmth comes without cost
Verse 3
I stopped runnin’ from the night I knew
Found a mirror in the black and saw the truth
Pain became a song I learned to breathe
And the silence started speakin’ back to me
There’s peace in the places no one sees
A home in the hurt that never leaves
The dark don’t scare me like before
It’s the only friend that kept the door
Chorus (Variation)
Darkness always has been my peace
It hums my name, gives me release
I ride alone but I don’t feel lost
Every shadow’s warmth comes without cost
Verse 4
I laid my fear down on the roadside
Let the night wrap me in its quiet pride
No sun, no light, no reason to pretend
The dark’s my home now, there’s no need to mend
Every shadow knows the songs I keep
Whispers that follow me even in sleep
I don’t reach for dawn, I don’t chase the skies
I live in the night where my own truth lies
Verse 5
Morning comes, the streets still bare
I wake alone, but I don’t despair
The ghosts of loss hum soft around my name
They’re silent now, yet they keep me from the same
Alone in the day, yet I carry the night
Every dark memory feels almost right
I’ve made peace with what I used to fight
The shadows walk beside me, but they don’t bite
Outro
Windows cry when I don’t
Dashboard glowin’ like a ghost in the glass
Highway hummin’ songs about the past
