Intro
(Breathe)
(Rattle)
Low end kicking through the floorboards
(Floorboards)
Shudder in the rusted metal
(Metal)
Verse
Iron in the manifold, sixty on the dash (dash)
Steel rims biting into gravel and ash (ash)
Teeth click-clacking to an eighty-eight beat
Two-tone chassis shaking up the whole street (street)
I don't want the cushion, I don't want the clean cut
Rather take the pothole, rather take the deep rut (rut)
Oil on the denim, battery corrosion
Chest cavity vibrating from the small explosion (boom)
Yellow sodium lights cutting through the haze
Pupils dilated in an electric glaze (glaze)
Radiator hissing like a serpent in the dark
Steel against the guardrail, peeling off a spark (spark)
Knuckles went purple on the ten-and-two grip
Copper on the tongue from a split lower lip (lip)
Let the bolts loosen up, let the rivets go wild
Born in the static, chaos is the child (child)
Chorus
Feel the tremor in the spine, feel the tremor in the wheel (wheel)
Rattling the bone till the bone turns steel (steel)
We don't smooth it out, we don't fix the seam
Living in the shudder of the broken machine (machine)
Tremor in the jaw, tremor in the floor (floor)
Redline humming till they hammer on the door (door)
Feel the tremor in the spine, feel the tremor in the wheel
Rattling the bone till the bone turns steel (steel)
Verse
Alleyways echo with a coughing exhaust (lost)
Count every dent, that's a badge, not a cost (cost)
You sleep silent in a velvet-lined cell
I wake the city with a two-stroke bell (bell)
Sub in the trunk hitting heavy on the loose plate
Shivering the glass while we pull through the tollgate (gate)
No power steering, gotta fight every turn
Friction in the rubber makes the night air burn (burn)
Mud on the fender, scratches on the primer
Clock ticked backwards, outrunning every timer (timer)
You want the polish, want the porcelain face
I want the wreckage in an open space (space)
Floorpan hot, burning through my sneaker sole
Gravity dragging down an empty black hole (hole)
Piston slap rhythm, rattle in the cage
Turn the motor shudder into baseline rage (rage)
Chorus
Feel the tremor in the spine, feel the tremor in the wheel (wheel)
Rattling the bone till the bone turns steel (steel)
We don't smooth it out, we don't fix the seam
Living in the shudder of the broken machine (machine)
Tremor in the jaw, tremor in the floor (floor)
Redline humming till they hammer on the door (door)
Feel the tremor in the spine, feel the tremor in the wheel
Rattling the bone till the bone turns steel (steel)
Bridge
Hold the wire tight (tight)
No shocks, no springs, no light (light)
Every bump hits direct to the marrow
Wide open road, but the target stays narrow (narrow)
Let it shake, let it snap, let it pound
We build the temple out of ugly sound (sound)
Outro
Rattle in the cage (cage)
Tremor in the floor (floor)
Foot to the floorboards
Dead lock the door (door)
