[Intro] [Atmospheric acoustic guitar, dark drone, skeletal fingerpicking] [Verse 1] Skeletal branches reach for the grey Nothing but asphalt to lead the way Telephone wires run through the cold Stories of cities that we left untold A midnight highway, a desolate drive Just to feel something, to feel alive [Chorus] And the headlights cut through the deep, heavy black On a two-lane road with no turning back With the radio static hum in my ears Tracing the silhouettes of all my fears In the dark, I am free In the dark, it's just me [Verse 2] Faded wheat borders the edge of the line Lost in the shadow of passing time A pale rust horizon begins to fade out Under the weight of my own silent doubt No voices calling, no streetlights to guide Just the quiet road where the secrets hide [Outro] Where the secrets hide... On this empty drive... Into the dark... [Fade out with low acoustic strums and atmospheric hiss]
