Static Engine Pulse (version 2)

Verse

Smoke curls from the bumper like it's alive

Headlights cutting static through the drive

Tires hum a rhythm on the wet asphalt floor

Nothing moving in this city but the engine roar

City lights reflected in my rearview glass

Bass drum humming where the sirens used to pass

I keep the pedal down, the sound turns loud and grey

Every stoplight turning red, every mile away from yesterday

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it building, rising through the frame

Nothing left inside me but this engine's name

Foot on the floor, watch it turn to gold

Hold the wheel steady where my heart used to fold

Chorus

Static engine pulse, driving through the dark

Watch the world dissolve into a single spark

Static engine pulse, nothing left behind

Keep your foot down low and let the static climb

Verse

Rearview mirror fogging up like it's trying not to see

Streetlights bending towards me like they're trying to break free

Fog horns whispering through the windowpane

Every mile a shadow fading into the rain

Neon signs reflected upside down

City lights flickering where my thoughts go round and round

Engine hum turns loud and takes control of every breath

Nothing left inside but the static, nothing left to leave

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it building, rising through the frame

Nothing left inside me but this engine's name

Foot on the floor, watch it turn to gold

Hold the wheel steady where my heart used to fold

Chorus

Static engine pulse, driving through the dark

Watch the world dissolve into a single spark

Static engine pulse, nothing left behind

Keep your foot down low and let the static climb

Bridge

No name, no number on this license plate

Just a line of smoke across the highway gate

Nothing moving here except for what's inside

Engine humming louder than I ever could reside

Chorus

Static engine pulse, driving through the dark

Watch the world dissolve into a single spark

Static engine pulse, nothing left behind

Keep your foot down low and let the static climb
