[Intro] (Memphis chopped vocal slice, Rhodes chords swell) (Beatboxing breath, fretless bass slide) [Verse 1] Always running down the open line Counting hours like they're outta time Fingers calloused on the heavy wheel Chasing shadows that were never real Feet are heavy, but the highway calls Building momentum till the armor falls [Pre-Chorus] (Shifting time signature) Breathe in, break the frame Forget the speed, drop the name Let the wheels come to a stop Let the heavy curtain drop [Chorus] (Key change, full choir and brass burst) Step back, let the motion fade Leave the debt that was never paid No more pushing through the rising tide Just a moment here on the quiet side Catharsis in the still air Let it rest right there [Verse 2] (Breakbeat kick, slap bass groove) Engine cooling in the twilight haze Unwinding memories of endless days No agenda, no electric pulse Just the quiet where the spirit rests Chopped up voices echo in the room Clearing out the clutter and the gloom [Chorus] (Full choir and brass burst) Step back, let the motion fade Leave the debt that was never paid No more pushing through the rising tide Just a moment here on the quiet side Catharsis in the still air Let it rest right there [Bridge] (Sludge grunge riff, heavy 7/8 break) Stood in line for a finish line that moved away Traded every quiet night for another day Now the brass is warm, the Rhodes is soft and wide Nothing left to prove, nowhere left to hide [Outro] (Chopped background vocals, decaying Rhodes) Pause now... Let it rest... Let the motion fade... (Fade out on fretless bass slide)
