Lonely Racer

[Verse 1]
Highway found me
Staring through the cracked glass, eyes on empty
Houston signs blur
Every green light feels like it resents me
Doing the dash
Slow on the inside, fast on the dash
Ghost in the glass
Hands on the wheel, heart in the trash
[Chorus]
Lonely mind of a racer
I keep chasing what won’t wait up
Pedal down, but I’m weighed up
By every word I never said, yeah
Highway found me, I stay stuck
Going quick just to feel enough
Lonely mind of a racer
Burning out for a little touch
[Verse 2]
Gas low, but I’m
Still running from the same old questions
Back roads, same pain
Different exit, same direction
Empty seat glow
You should be here, but the past won’t let you
Voice in my phone
Ringing from a place I can’t get to
[Chorus]
Lonely mind of a racer
I keep chasing what won’t wait up
Pedal down, but I’m weighed up
By every word I never said, yeah
Highway found me, I stay stuck
Going quick just to feel enough
Lonely mind of a racer
Burning out for a little touch
[Bridge]
If I crash into the morning
Will it finally feel like change? (yeah)
Or just another warning
Painted on the guardrail with my name?
[Chorus]
Lonely mind of a racer
I keep chasing what won’t wait up
Pedal down, but I’m weighed up
By every word I never said, yeah
Highway found me, I stay stuck
Going quick just to feel enough
Lonely mind of a racer
Burning out for a little touch (little touch)
Burning out for a little touch

rap, Moody emo-rap over distorted alt-rock guitars and deep, swinging drums; verses sit in a confessional half-rap pocket, hook explodes with wide, overdriven power chords and stacked male vocals, bass growls under a hazy reverb cloud, final chorus pulls the energy up then drops to a single vocal and guitar tailing off, emo, alternative rock
