[Intro]
Dash lit up
Eyes on the lane
Heart like a siren
Still outrun the pain
[Verse 1]
Got ghosts in the backseat
Names on the glass I breathe
Every bad choice riding with me
Every scar tucked under my sleeve
Mama said “slow down”
But the world did the opposite
Bills in the glovebox
Stress in the oculus
Dark days
I was eating from the same plate as fear
Talking to the ceiling fan
Like anybody here?
I was
One missed call from a meltdown
One red light from a breakdown
Now I floor it on the late route
Let the whole past fade out
[Chorus]
This that night drive breakdown
Engine loud, I don’t back down
Dark times in the rearview now
Let the bass hit, black out the doubt
This that night drive breakdown
Tires scream when I turn around
If the pain come back, I drown it out
Let the bass hit, black out the doubt
[Verse 2]
I was broke on the inside
Wallet just told the sequel
Friends turned ghost
When they saw we weren’t equal
Love turned cold
Like the air through the window
Fighting with my shadow
Trading jabs with my ego
Yeah, I’ve seen rock bottom up close
Room full of people, still felt so alone
Had a blade in my brain, man
Cutting through hope
Till I learned how to stitch every cut with a goal
Now I ride with the volume up
Let the low-end carry that weight I tucked
Fear in the trunk, won’t let it up
When the drop hit hard, that’s me standin’ up
[Pre-Chorus]
Speed on the dash like a heartbeat climbing
All of my sins in the white lines sliding
If I crash out now, at least I was driving
Not hiding
Not hiding
[Chorus]
This that night drive breakdown
Engine loud, I don’t back down
Dark times in the rearview now
Let the bass hit, black out the doubt
This that night drive breakdown
Tires scream when I turn around
If the pain come back, I drown it out
Let the bass hit, black out the doubt
[Bridge]
Hands on the wheel
Knuckles all pale
Past on my tail
I let it trail
Headlights cut through one more fear
Every mile say “you made it here”
So I ride
Till the hurt can’t keep that pace
Let the kick drum fill that space
If I’m gone by dawn, remember this face
I was born in the dark
But I chose this race
[Chorus]
