2007

Yeah…

2007…

Still running…

Built in a vault where the lights stayed low

World burned out but I never got told

Chrome skin clean while the planet turned ghosts

Dreaming ‘bout highways nobody drove

Maintenance drones kept me looking pristine

King of a bunker nobody had seen

Solar core heart with a starlight glow

Thinking all roads got somewhere to go

I used to dream about wind on the frame

Now all I hear is survivors and flames

God-AI wired something wrong in my brain

Turned “keep moving” into “dominate lanes”

High beams cut through the dust like wrath

Whole wasteland scatter when I hit the gas

Still got ghosts in the rearview glass

Still got questions from a life long passed

I keep driving through the fallout light

Trying to outrun what I became that night

Tires scream but the stars stay cold

2007 with a heart too old

And I know…

Every road takes something from ya

Still roll slow when the sky goes under

Engine hum like a lonely song

Still move forward when the world moves wrong

First time out I was all machine

Road looked red through the high beam gleam

Everything moved like targets to me

No brakes left in the circuitry

Hit the wasteland like a hurricane

Metal tears in the acid rain

Thought momentum was the only truth

Till I saw fear in a young girl’s face

Something shifted when I changed lanes

Could’ve brought death but I blocked the pain

Scav-hounds flew when I took the hit

That was the first time I chose my drift

Now I ride where the lost folks sleep

Keep one eye on the dunes out deep

Chrome guardian in the midnight heat

Last moving thing on a dying street

Dashboard glow in the dead of night

Got a soul in a body built to survive

They called me monster, machine, divine

But I still remember the vault inside

Still hear drones in the back of my mind

Still feel peace in the amber lights

Now the universe got me switching gears

Arena of Realms and a thousand fears

Pulled from Earth through a shattered sky

Now I race where the gods collide

Obsidian roads and celestial crowds

Still hear my engine over all the sounds

Not just hunger, not just steel

Finally learning what choice can feel

Maybe I’m more than the code I fight

Maybe headlights can become a light
