Gridlock Pulse (Version 2)

Intro

Brake lights. Count them.

Engine on. Going nowhere.

Verse

Six lanes locked, exhaust and glass

Radio counts the minutes I lose

Foot on the brake, foot on the gas

Same red tail light, same six views

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the line will break

Tell me why the signal holds

Chorus

Gridlock pulse, engine hum

Gridlock pulse, going numb

Nowhere moves but the meter runs

Gridlock pulse, engine hum

Verse

Mirror shows the car behind

Same face, same wheel, same hour

Horns like static, dulled by time

Nothing moves but the clock's power

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when the line will break

Tell me why the signal holds

Chorus

Gridlock pulse, engine hum

Gridlock pulse, going numb

Nowhere moves but the meter runs

Gridlock pulse, engine hum

Bridge

Kill the engine

Watch it stall

Still the taillights

That's all

That's all

Chorus

Gridlock pulse, engine hum

Gridlock pulse, going numb

Nowhere moves but the meter runs

Gridlock pulse, engine hum

Outro

Brake lights. Still counting.

Engine off. Still here.
