[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
Fog breaks open,
Road turns thin.
Something hits the treeline
With a rushing grin.
Wings cut silent,
Eyes glow red—
I floor the engine,
But he stays ahead.
[Pre-Chorus]
A whisper crawls through my skull,
Cold and low—
“You’re running from something
You don’t even know.”
[Chorus 1]
Red eyes in the rearview, pacing my car,
Never getting closer, never falling far.
Hold tight, m’lady—something broke loose,
And whatever I’m fleeing… it’s not what I choose.
[Verse 2]
Static on the radio,
Glass begins to shake,
Air turns heavy
Like a world about to break.
I feel him watching,
Not to tear me apart—
More like a warning
Hammered into my heart.
[Pre-Chorus]
Another pulse in my mind,
Sharp and true—
“The thing you should fear
Is behind you.”
[Chorus 2]
Red eyes in the rearview, marking my lane,
Like he’s guarding the line from something insane.
Stay close, stay breathing—don’t let it through,
’Cause I’m pretty damn sure he’s not the one I should rue.
[Bridge]
Pressure builds harder,
Like the night’s drawing breath,
And the hum in my bones
Feels too close to death.
A shape in the back seat
Moves without sound—
Not wings… but fingers
Curling around.
A final thought hits me,
Thunder in my chest—
“I chase you to shield you.
The dark does the rest.”
[Verse 3]
The road twists downward,
Lights flicker weak,
A shadow behind me
Scrapes at the seat.
I catch its outline
In the mirror’s blue—
And realize the red eyes
Aren’t the threat I knew.
[Chorus 3]
Red eyes in the rearview hold their place,
But the thing beneath them wants my space.
Stay sharp, m’lady—don’t let it near,
I think the monster I feared… wasn’t him this year.
[Drum Solo]
[Chorus 4 – Final]
Red eyes in the rearview, steady and clear,
Shadow in the backseat drawing near.
Foot down, headlights tearing straight through—
He wasn’t chasing me… he was warning me of you.
