[Intro] Engine purr like a psalm in the dark, I confess to the dash Neon bleed through the glass like the past coming back in a flash City sleeping but my mind wide awake in a loop Every thought got a shadow, every silence a truth Palm on the wheel like I’m gripping control But control just illusion when you drift in your soul GPS keep rerouting what I’m trying to avoid I took a wrong turn and ended up in the void [Hook] Midnight drift, I just glide, I don’t drive no more Lost in the echo where the road don’t end or start no more Hands on the wheel but my soul on pause I’m free in the void, but it don’t feel like yours Midnight drift, I just float, I don’t land no more Sky in my chest but my feet ain’t stand no more Nowhere to be but I’m still in motion Drowning in freedom like it’s deep as an ocean [Verse 1] Dashboard glow like a halo cracked, faith flicker in the mileage Every mile I travel feel like therapy in silence Tires hum hymns on the asphalt veins I’m vein-popping thoughts while I mask that pain Got ghosts in the trunk, they don’t make no sound But they ride every mile when the sun go down I’m arguing with memories I can’t outrun They reload like clips in a loaded drum Windows down, let the cool air lie Say I’m free but I feel like time pass by In a blur — like Monet when he painted grief Every stroke got a tear that he couldn’t keep I’m in between lanes like a split decision Half prayer, half sin in my composition Freedom got a flavor but it taste like fear Like a smile in the dark when nobody near Red light blink like a warning sign But I ran it twice, I don’t honor time I been chasing peace like it owe me rent But it moved out quick, now I’m heaven-sent [Hook] Midnight drift, I just glide, I don’t drive no more Lost in the echo where the road don’t end or start no more Hands on the wheel but my soul on pause I’m free in the void, but it don’t feel like yours Midnight drift, I just float, I don’t land no more Sky in my chest but my feet ain’t stand no more Nowhere to be but I’m still in motion Drowning in freedom like it’s deep as an ocean [Verse 2] Rearview mirror got a past life glitch Every face pixelate like a bad VHS Love turned static, conversations clipped Now my heart buffering on some data it missed Moonlight drip off chrome like sins on repeat I baptized my doubts in the sound of the street Got dreams in my pocket but they folded thin Like currency worthless where I been within I talk to the road, it reply in curves Say “you can’t outrun what you never learned” So I swerve through thoughts like a drunk ballet Grace in the chaos but I lost my way I made solitude into luxury Now it suffocate slow, like it stuck with me Irony thick — I designed this cage Now I scribble escape on a phantom page Every exit sign look like false relief Temporary peace with a long-term grief I’m addicted to motion, allergic to still Got a tank full of gas but an emptier will [Bridge] If I stop, I might feel it If I feel, I might break So I orbit the night Like a thought I can’t shake If the dawn ever finds me Will it show who I hid? Or just light up the wreck Of the man that I did… [Hook] Midnight drift, I just glide, I don’t drive no more Lost in the echo where the road don’t end or start no more Hands on the wheel but my soul on pause I’m free in the void, but it don’t feel like yours Midnight drift, I just float, I don’t land no more Sky in my chest but my feet ain’t stand no more Nowhere to be but I’m still in motion Drowning in freedom like it’s deep as an ocean [Verse 3] Fuel light blinking like a dying star Still I push that limit, never mind how far ‘Cause the journey feel safer than the place I began I’m a fugitive running from the truth of a man Got constellations in my windshield cracks Like the sky fell down and I pieced it back Every fracture reflect what I tried to hide Now I’m navigating pain with my pride as guide I romanticize what I can’t repair Turn trauma to art like it’s light as air But the weight still there in the undertone Like a bassline deep in a broken home I been talking to God through the radio static Every answer delayed, every silence dramatic Maybe faith just a signal I barely receive Or a voice in the noise that I choose not to believe Still I drive like the end got a meaning attached But the road keep looping like a glitch in the past So I ride through the night with a beautiful curse Being free never felt like it hurt this worse [Outro] Engine hum fade into a quiet plea Freedom loud but it don’t sound like me Somewhere between lost and letting go I found a road… that don’t go home Headlights dim like a closing scene Life feel real but it play like a dream If I ever stop, will I finally see— It was never the road… it was me
