Engine hummin’ in the driveway dark Dash light glowin’ on a tired old heart Steel toe boots on a cracked floor mat Whole world ridin’ on my back like that Bills in the seat and dust in my lungs Words I regret hang off my tongue House lights on but I can’t walk in Not like this… not full of sin ⸻ Pre-Chorus You said to cast it, lay it down But pride still wears my working crown I can lift weight that’ll break a spine Still wrestle You for what ain’t mine ⸻ Chorus (Heavy Stomp Builds) So I’m throwin’ it down in the gravel tonight Every fear, every fight Every burden I’ve been holdin’ tight You said You care for me You said You’ll carry me You called the weary to come find rest But I’ve been beatin’ on my own chest I ain’t God I ain’t strong enough To hold this world together Without Your blood ⸻ (Stomp Break – Kick + Chain Hit) ⸻ Verse 2 A man thinks his way is right ‘Til it drags him into the night And I’ve been drivin’ that crooked road White knuckled on control You said anger won’t make me right But I let mine burn all night You warned me not to let the sun Go down while wrath still runs And I’ve been carryin’ wrath like tools Handin’ it off to the ones I love ⸻ Pre-Chorus You said there’s no condemnation But I live like grace is probation You said I reap what I sow Lord don’t let tension be what they know ⸻ Chorus (Full Grit, Bigger Vocal) So I’m throwin’ it down in the gravel tonight Every weight, every lie Every “I’ll fix it” foolish pride If You don’t build this house We’re just swingin’ hammers loud You told me not to be anxious But I’ve been faithless and doubtin’ I ain’t Christ I ain’t the cross If I don’t lay it at Your feet My whole house pays the cost ⸻ Bridge (Music Drops Low – Vocal Nearly Spoken) You said be still… And know that You are God But I don’t sit still I don’t slow down You said those who wait on You Renew their strength But I’ve been runnin’ on fumes Tryin’ to be the engine You told me to fix my eyes on Jesus The Author and the Finisher Not on the bills Not on the job Not on the mess I made ⸻ (Beat builds back in slow and heavy) ⸻ Final Chorus (Big, Gang Vocal Undercurrent) So I’m killin’ this tension in the driveway dirt Lay it down before it hurts Before I drag it through that door As for me and my house Lord I’m choosing You right now Whatever I do, work or rest I’m givin’ You my best I ain’t savior I ain’t king I’m just a man On broken knees And tonight I’m endin’ the day With trust Not tension ⸻ Outro (Beat Fades – Vocal Alone) Truck shuts off Gravel crunch Deep breath in my lungs You said You will sustain me… Door opens. Amen.
