[Verse 1]
[Solo Female: Low-register, breathy singing]
[Thick sub-bass and dusty breakbeat enter immediately]
The house is a shell now.
The keys are on the counter.
I left the poison in the walls,
And the beast of the encounter.
One bag for the essentials,
Two hearts for the future.
I’m stitching up the opening,
I’m the needle and the suture.
No more shaking when the handle turns.
No more praying for the beast to burn.
Just the blacktop and the white lines,
Leaving all his dark confines.

[Chorus]
[Solo Female: Doubled, heavy, low-slung melodic singing]
It’s a clean break. Cold steel.
And the rearview’s stayed black.
Killing every mile,
And I’m never looking back.
Just the grind of the wheels.
And the thin, cold air.
We’re driving out of reach,
To a life he will never share.

[Verse 2]
[Solo Female: Low-register, breathy singing]
Passed the border / passed the junction
No more bowing / to his instruction
He’s a memory / in a shoebox
I’m the key / strengthened my locks.
No more trembling / in the hallway
We’re doing life / in a new way.
I can see the dawn / through the windscreen
The stealth mode on / we remain unseen.
Every highway lamp / is a witness
To the strength / and the sudden fitness
Of a mother’s heart / when the mask is torn,
Leaving all the dark / where the beast was born.

[Bridge]
[Solo Female: Intimate, breathy singing]
[Drums drop out. Saturated sub-bass drone only.]
Sleep now.
The miles are a wall.
Sleep now.
I’ll catch you if you fall.
He’s a ghost on a map we’ve burned.
He’s a lesson that we’ve finally learned.

[Final Chorus]
[Solo Female: Doubled and heavy]
It’s a clean break. Cold steel.
And the rearview’s stayed black.
Killing every mile,
And I’m never looking back.
Just the grind of the wheels.
And the thin, cold air.
We’re driving out of reach,
To a life he will never share.

[Outro]
[Spoken: Low, intimate whisper]
"Wake up" (Wake up)
"Sleepy head" (Sleepy heads)
"We're here."
"We're home."
