[Intro] [clean electric guitar with delay and reverb, ambient synth pads] [0:15 distorted guitar chugging enters, syncopated kick drum] [0:30 full band enters, driving double-kick drums] [Verse 1] [gritty melodic vocals] Smash the face of inertia Crack the weight of the haze Every footprint leaves fractures On the steel of the waves Set the impulse free at last From its prison of bone Breaking vectors of escape With an empty fist of stone [Chorus] [belting vocals, soaring melody] Hit the highway at full speed Where all trajectories die No more oxygen remains Only salt in the sky Every stop has burned away Only friction survives Grinding holes through the fragile little worlds in our lives [0:58 sustained high note, double-time drum fill] [Bridge] [half-time feel, clean guitar arpeggios, soft vocals] Breathe It's only another phase A beautiful defect One day time itself Will erase its side effect [1:15 vocals intensify, distorted guitars re-enter] The road never heals It subtracts us piece by piece Stripping every final word From the throat that longs for peace [1:28 guttural scream] Watch it all ignite! [Chorus] [aggressive belting] Beyond these suffocating frames Where the mind becomes A ledger built from borrowed names Break the circuit Set these frozen hands alive Past the locks and the records Into crosswinds we survive This was never a road Only momentum tied in chains Where every touch Keeps another endless age [1:58 sustained vocal melisma, blast beat drums] [Instrumental Break] [2:08 polyrhythmic guitar riffing, heavy synth bass] [2:23 melodic guitar lead over chugging rhythm] [Outro] [2:38 clean guitar returns, atmospheric pads] Hold on just a little longer Till the last reserves collapse Before this city's rusted heartbeat Deletes us from the map There's no ending waiting Only every path reversed Where we're judge and executioner The blessed and the cursed [2:58 soaring vocal harmony] Overload! [3:03 growled vocals] Breakdown! Open the source code! Where your own voice Finally speaks the truth untold Nickel. Lead. A molten sharpened edge. Erase this hell... Carve heaven from the wreck. [3:25 final guitar chord rings out with delay]
