[Verse 1] Veins of pavement twist through canyons, endless line of pain Engines boil beneath the sun, each mile another chain Glass and chrome in funeral march, heat that will not die Patience rots to hatred while the smoke invades the sky [Pre-Chorus] Endless motion, choking all who dare Freedom promised, never getting there [Chorus] Engines scream as tempers fray Freedom fades in endless delay Heat and fumes corrupt the way You’re not making it today [Verse 2] Hours lost to nothingness, rage becomes a creed Dreams dissolve in brake light seas that never cede Air turns thick with poison breath, tempers start to bleed Every lane a killing floor for hope and human need [Pre-Chorus] Endless motion, choking all who dare Freedom promised, never getting there [Chorus] Engines scream as tempers fray Freedom fades in endless delay Heat and fumes corrupt the way You’re not making it today [Bridge] Valley heat behind me, coastline still a lie Oceans call from Newport but the desert owns the sky Bound in moving purgatory, rivers that divide This highway eats salvation, swallows every pride [Outro] Bound in moving purgatory — rivers that divide This highway eats salvation, swallows every pride
