Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fluorescent hum in the rear of the rig
Polaroids pinned to a rusted steel wall
Logbook lies
Every mile a mask
Sharp smell of bleach in the haul
[Chorus]
This is not romance
This is rot
Highway of the wolf runs hot
Don’t sing his name like some dark saint
Carve it from the myth
Let the stain stay faint
This is not romance
This is rust
Chains on the floor turn trust into dust
[Verse 2]
He wore that grin like a roadside sign
“Last chance gas” for the desperate and lost
Chrome on the cab
Red in the cracks
Every pretty story had a hidden cost
[Chorus]
This is not romance
This is rot
Highway of the wolf runs hot
Don’t sing his name like some dark saint
Carve it from the myth
Let the stain stay faint
This is not romance
This is rust
Chains on the floor turn trust into dust
[Bridge]
Count the crosses by the asphalt
Unmarked
Unnamed
Unheard
If you raise a glass to a butcher
You bury every word
(no glory, no crown)
[Chorus]
This is not romance
This is rot
Highway of the wolf runs hot
Forget his face
Remember theirs
Tear down the tales
Strip them bare
This is not romance
This is rust
We break the myth
Grind it to dust
