Pulsefire – Project: 59', pt II

Green light burns through midnight glass Whole street betting on my past Brother's blood still stains this track Tonight I take the whole thing back Black Caddy shakes beneath my hands Last motherfucker makes his stand One final bet, one final hand Hell stays quiet in the stands Bookies circle, vultures grin Dead-man money rolling in He held my brother, watched him dim Now I put the fucking odds on him Cars and titles stack the pot Every dollar that they got Whole damn empire on the block Winner leaves with every lock Green hits hard, the clutch cuts clean Tires bite like guillotines Blower screams through gasoline Blacktop splits beneath the machine He crowds my lane, I hold my ground Mirror ghosts keep circling round He wants fear — I feed the flame V8 thunder brands my name Pulse kicks hard, the gauges pound Heartbeat hunts that engine sound Blood runs hot, no backing down Pulsefire — burn through the ground Pulsefire — LIGHT UP THE NIGHT Heartbeat locked to the engine bite Pulsefire — NOWHERE TO HIDE Burn that road till the dead fucking rise Pulsefire — NO TURNING BACK Devil grins in the mirror black Cross that line, collect the stack This car can't lose... That's the fucking pact Side by side through concrete veins Nitrous spits like acid rain He cuts hard, I hold my lane Every mile remembers names Quarter left, he's losing ground Caddy stalks him by the sound Crowd goes feral, bass kicks pound King of Devils takes the crown Finish lights cut through the rain I cross first — he eats my lane Whole damn empire signs my name Brother, I just broke their game Foot comes off — the throttle stays Brake goes dead beneath my weight Key comes out — the motor raves Something else just took the reins Brake goes dead, the gauges glow Heartbeat pounds with the engine low Fingers burn; I can't let go Pulsefire— Hell took control Brake pedal buried to the floor Still that bastard begs for more Clutch won't bite, can't find the gear Devil static fills my ears Speed climbs past reality Needles twitch like blasphemy Dashboard bleeds electric green Something crawls beneath the seams Chrome turns black across the frame Headlights burn without a flame Every bolt repeats my name Skin starts doing just the same Hands lock numb, I grip the steel Burning nerves forget to feel Flesh and engine start to seal I can't tell what's fucking real Mirror spits a stranger back Green eyes burn through splintered black Pulse gets dragged onto the track Engine hits like a heart attack Radio spits through static hiss One calm voice cuts through the blitz No threat, no laugh, no bullshit lie— he says, “you won” That's when I know why Can't stop... Can't brake... Heart locked... Earthquake... Streetlights smear like burning veins City bends through window rain Every heartbeat feeds the chain Every piston says my name Road goes liquid, vision reels Pulse gets welded into steel Nerves ignite beneath the wheel Every mile becomes too real Wall comes fast beyond the bend I pull left — it won't give in Brother's voice cuts through the din “Don't let that bastard fucking win” I wrench hard, the axle screams Glass turns stars across the screen One last breath through gasoline Then the whole world burns green Pulsefire — Blood on the wire Heart beats lock with the engine fire Pulsefire — Redline desire Burn me down till the flames climb higher Pulsefire — No coming back Devil grins in the mirror black Won the race, fulfilled the pact Car can't lose—In Pulsefire! I said the car would never lose Funny what a man will choose Gave him vengeance, gave him speed He signed over what I'd need He bought revenge, I bought his time Crossed one line, then crossed to mine Contract closed when headlights died Now let's see how well he drives
