V6

[Intro: VEXLESS — Soft, Amused] You lot really thought I only came out when everything went to shit? Cute. Turn the music up. [Beat Drops] [Verse 1: VEXLESS] I’m the shadow in the mirror, little smile in the glass, Blue E92 and the streetlights pass, Normally they call me when the mood turns black, Tonight I’m just enjoying watching tarmac disappear out back. No screaming. No chaos. No fucking disaster. Scott’s got both hands on the wheel, music getting faster. VEX is quiet. Malice behaving. Honestly? I’m starting to think we’re all changing. Don’t panic. I’m still me. Still got that darkness tucked underneath, Still the one they name when patience leaves, But even devils get bored of eternal fucking grief. So drive. [Chorus: VEXLESS — Dark Melodic] Devil in the rearview, smiling at the night, Blue car cutting through every orange motorway light. I don’t need the fire, I don’t need the fight, Sometimes even darkness just wants a decent fucking night. Devil in the rearview, nothing chasing me, Bassline rolling underneath and for once I’m feeling free. [Verse 2: VEXLESS] Scott thinks too much. That’s hardly news. Man could overthink which fucking trainers to choose. He’ll sit there rebuilding every word someone said, Then invite me in when he’s lost in his head. And usually? Fine. I’ll happily arrive. But maybe not every little problem needs to die. Maybe some things deserve a shrug, Maybe some people aren’t worth giving a fuck, Maybe the best revenge is enjoying your life while somebody somewhere keeps expecting a fight. Look at me being sensible. Revolting. Someone check whether hell’s frozen over. [Chorus] Devil in the rearview, smiling at the night, Blue car cutting through every orange motorway light. I don’t need the fire, I don’t need the fight, Sometimes even darkness just wants a decent fucking night. [Bridge: VEXLESS — Spoken] Don’t mistake peace for weakness. That would be stupid. I haven’t disappeared. I’m just... having fun. Strange concept. [Verse 3: VEXLESS] There’s something good about nowhere to be, No one asking questions, no one needing me, Just engine noise, drums, and a road running clean, Blue paint shining underneath the beams. We carry loss. We carry scars. We carry names underneath these bars. But carrying pain doesn’t mean every day has to become some miserable fucking display. Scott’s still standing. VEX still watches. Malice still growls when somebody crosses. And me? I’m still the devil. Just with better music. [Final Chorus — Bigger] DEVIL IN THE REARVIEW, SMILING AT THE NIGHT, BLUE E92 UNDER MOTORWAY LIGHTS. NO NEED FOR FIRE, NO NEED FOR A FIGHT, TONIGHT EVEN DARKNESS FEELS FUCKING ALRIGHT. DEVIL IN THE REARVIEW, WATCH THE OLD DAYS LEAVE, NOT EVERYTHING BEHIND US NEEDS TO FOLLOW ME. [Outro: VEXLESS — Quiet] Drive faster. Not stupid faster. I’m evil. Not fucking irresponsible. [End]
