Verse 1 We hid the bills we couldn't pay, Prayed on our knees for a brighter day. Watched our whole world burn in the market crash, Dreams turned to ash, turned to ash. Chorus Hold your eyes closed when I hit the gas, The rearview mirror's already turned to black. The road is dark, there's no guiding stars, Just the weight of this world in our arms. Verse 2 Living costs more with every new day, Heard a man on the news say the sky'll fall anyway. Tried to stand tall but the ground gave way, And you can't win a fight that's rigged from the first play. Chorus Hold your eyes closed when I hit the gas, The rearview mirror's already turned to black. The road is dark, there's no guiding stars, Just the weight of this world in our arms. Bridge (soft, spoken) I don't know if we were wrong or right, The walls came down with all their might. I promised you a garden, a house upon a hill. All I have left to give you now... is this last, bitter pill. Final Chorus (explosive, screamed/raspy) Hold your eyes closed when I hit the gas, The rearview mirror's already turned to black. The road is dark, there's no guiding stars, Just the weight of this world in our arms. Outro Hold your eyes closed when I hit the gas, The rearview mirror's already turned to black. The road is dark, there's no guiding stars, Just the weight of this world in our arms.
