No Reverse

[Intro – Fast riff, drums hit immediately] [Verse 1 – driving, urgent] I’m done sleeping in the wreckage Done digging through the past Every second that I waste here Is another chain that snaps I hear every voice that doubted I see every closed door still But I’m not here to talk about it I’m here to prove my will [Pre-Chorus – building pressure] I tried standing in the shadow I tried waiting for a sign Now I’m done asking for permission This is mine [Chorus – BIG, FAST, ANTHEMIC] There’s no reverse No second chances No looking back, no dead romances I hit the gas, I let it burn I’m not the man I used to be There’s no reverse No hesitation I’m done with fear, I’m done with waiting If this is where the road turns worse Then I’m going first There’s no reverse [Verse 2 – heavier, more aggressive] I carried guilt like it was gospel I carried shame like it was law Now I see through every reason I stayed face-down on the floor They said “slow down, you’ll get yourself killed” I said “maybe that’s the point” I’d rather die moving forward Than rot here making noise [Pre-Chorus – bigger] I burned the map, I burned the bridges I don’t need them anymore [Chorus – bigger] There’s no reverse No second chances No looking back, no dead romances I hit the gas, I let it burn I’m not the man I used to be There’s no reverse No hesitation I’m done with fear, I’m done with waiting If this is where the road turns worse Then I’m going first There’s no reverse [Bridge – Breakdown / Half-time] (Everything drops heavy and chunky) Say I’ll fail Say I’ll fall Say I’m nothing after all (Pause) Watch me. (Band slams back in fast) [GUITAR SOLO – Fast, aggressive, shreddy but musical] (This is the “drive” solo — speed and fire) [FINAL CHORUS – FULL SPEED] There’s no reverse No second chances No looking back, no dead romances I hit the gas, I let it burn I’m not the man I used to be There’s no reverse No hesitation I’m done with fear, I’m done with waiting If this is where the road turns worse Then I’m going first There’s no reverse [Outro – fast, abrupt stop] No reverse. (Final hit)
