[Verse 1] Key in the bowl, week in the drawer Bus hissed once — I was gone Old Ford waiting, motor on Out before the dawn [Pre-Chorus] The tower block hums like a busted fridge Name on a list, life on the brink Clock in, clock out, same shirt, same floor Gray face in the glass — can't ignore [Chorus] [epic] I'm gone I'm gone I need a road [Verse 2] Missed my turn and kept on driving Past the laundromat, neon dying To the edge where the map turns blank One full tank, no looking back [Pre-Chorus] The tower block hums like a busted fridge Name on a list, life on the brink Clock in, clock out, same shirt, same floor Gray face in the glass — can't ignore [Chorus] [epic] I'm gone I'm gone I need a road [Bridge] Dust on my boots, wheel in my hands One clean shirt and a half-built plan If they ask, say I couldn't stay Walls got too close — I drove away [Final Chorus] [epic] I'm gone I'm gone I need a road [Outro] No address, no one waiting up Just a full tank and a paper cup If tomorrow finds me, let it find me far Past the overpass, past parked-up cars I'm not lost I'm finally out
