[Verse 1]
Spark a joint, let my hood down
Empty tank, but I still go
Every scar in my rearview
Every ghost in my side door
Red line in the engine, I’m grinning
Life’s playing chicken, I’m spinning
On the edge of a grave I’m digging
Heart froze up, but the wheels keep singing
Got a pill in the visor, I’m tempted
Got a text from my ex, I left it
High beams on my past, I crest it
Still feel like a joke they tested
[Chorus]
Red line in the engine, out running the devil
I press that pedal, no one on my level (yeah)
If it all flames out, let it burn, I won’t settle
I was raised for the crash, now I dance with the metal
Got to race these cars ‘cause I can’t face scars
So I chase my hurt through the dark of these yards
Red line in the engine, I don’t need medals
I just need silence when the noise gets dreadful
[Verse 2]
Middle finger to the blue lights
Whole life in a shoebox, two nights
Of sleep this week, I feel see‑through
Dashboard flicker like it hates me too
Seatbelt loose, yeah, I like that risk
If I make it back home, that’s a plot twist
Therapist said I should slow this drift
But my pain only talks when the tires lift
Out running the devil in my own chest (own chest)
He keep pulling on the wheel, I just won’t rest (won’t rest)
If the reaper wanna ride, he can pay gas
I was built to go fast, built not to last
[Chorus]
Red line in the engine, out running the devil
I press that pedal, no one on my level (no one)
If it all flames out, let it burn, I won’t settle
I was raised for the crash, now I dance with the metal
Got to race these cars ‘cause I can’t face scars
So I chase my hurt through the dark of these yards
Red line in the engine, I don’t need medals
I just need silence when the noise gets dreadful
