[Verse 1]
Empty dash
Glove box full of crumpled threats
Late shift eyes
Red veins tracing every regret
White lines smear
Like I’m dragging time behind me
Both hands shake
But the wheel stays locked around me
[Pre-Chorus]
Who am I trying to outrun?
All this pressure
On one lung
If I crash into the dark
Will it quiet down my heart?
[Chorus]
I hit the gas when it’s too much
Let the engine take the punch
Every scream I never said
Rattles in the metal frame instead
I don’t wanna die tonight
I just wanna kill this fight inside
So I burn
Burn out the night
’Til the pain falls off my mind
[Verse 2]
Phone face down
All the messages like landmines
Blue light buzz
But I let it spin to flatline
Exit sign
Glows the color of a warning
I could turn
Or just keep on ignoring
[Pre-Chorus]
Who am I trying to impress?
All this anger
In my chest
If I vanish in the glare
Would anybody know I’m there?
[Chorus]
I hit the gas when it’s too much
Let the engine take the punch
Every scream I never said
Rattles in the metal frame instead
I don’t wanna die tonight
I just wanna kill this fight inside
So I burn
Burn out the night
’Til the pain falls off my mind
[Bridge]
If you’re racing down that road (hey)
Thinking ending it feels close
Call my name inside the roar
You’re worth more than every war
Pull it over
Let it stall
You can cry
You can call
You’re not weak
You’re not wrong
You’re the reason for this song
[Chorus]
I hit the gas when it’s too much
But I’m learning how to stop
Let the silence hold my hands
Let somebody else understand
I don’t wanna die tonight
I just wanna feel my life this time
So I burn
Burn out the night
Leave the road and choose the light
