[Verse 1] I’m chasing taillights down the line In the kind of dusk that tricks your eyes Just lost inside the hum Two more turns to the same old street But the wheel feels heavy in my hands Like it’s pulling me undone [Pre-Chorus] Cause I wonder sometimes About the outcome Of a half-written life Am I running it right? [Chorus] Why horizon, why? I keep renting space in my head For questions that won’t stay the night I wonder if the fire I chase Is just smoke in the light Why horizon, why? [Verse 2] Coffee cold in the passenger seat Radio static sings my doubts The miles stack like regrets One more exit to a safer bet But the rearview’s full of ghosts And forward feels like debt [Pre-Chorus] Cause I wonder sometimes If the map I drew Was ever mine to hold Am I losing the fight? [Chorus] Why horizon, why? I keep renting space in my head For questions that won’t stay the night I wonder if the fire I chase Is just smoke in the light Why horizon, why? [Bridge – electric solo builds over Em - Bm - C - D] Maybe I’m built for the burn Maybe I’m built to turn Back to the start… [Guitar solo – 16 bars, bluesy bends climbing to high G] [Final Chorus – fuller band, vocal ad-libs] Why horizon, why? Do I rent this doubt forever Or finally kill the light? I wonder if I’m meant to arrive Or just drive through the night Why horizon… why? Fade on acoustic riff + electric feedback.
