Ghost Ride (Stay Seated)

Intro Keep your hands where you can see them, fear. Verse 1 Seatbelt snug, eyes on the lane, You breathe in static, I call your name. Fog curls low like a sleeping cat, We don’t chase shadows; we let them pass. You sit beside me, quiet and pale, I drive the limit, I watch the rail. Pre-Chorus No hero speech, no daredevil spin— We make a truce and then begin. If terror asks to take the wheel, We nod and let the road reveal— Chorus I let the dark ride shotgun, Hands in lap, eyes on me. You can hum your little warning, But you don’t get the key. I let the dark ride shotgun, Seat warm, window clean— You can stare out all you want— I choose what “faster” means. Verse 2 Billboard saints and exit lights, Rain on signs like silver bites. Heartbeat clicks in perfect time, Not a chase—just a steady line. Fear taps glass with a quiet ring, I check the mirror, don’t change a thing. Pre-Chorus No sudden swerves, no proud control— Just breath and brakes and keeping whole. Chorus I let the dark ride shotgun… Bridge (whisper) If you start to speak, use inside voice, We’re busy keeping smaller choice. A gentle trip, a safe arrive— You get to watch me stay alive. Final Chorus I let the dark ride shotgun… I choose what “faster” means. Tag Engine off. You fade. I keep the keys.
