Verse 1 The radio cuts out past mile marker nine Just hissing and ghosts between the lines Headlights shake in the fog ahead Something blinks red where the road bends dead Pre-Chorus I thought I saw wings in the rearview glass But I don’t trust anything I see this late Chorus There’s static on the mountain pass Someone’s trying to warn us back Don’t stop, don’t slow, don’t ask There’s static on the mountain pass Verse 2 Bridge lights flicker like a bad omen Every call drops before the tone ends I roll the window down to breathe The night stares back and won’t leave Bridge (spoken) They said it shows up before things fall Like it’s counting the names ahead of time Final Chorus (shouted, chaotic) There’s static on the mountain pass Red eyes burning through the black If it’s a sign, it comes too fast There’s static on the mountain pass (feedback, murmured “don’t look” repeats)
