Black sky. Cold breath. Streetlights buzz like they ain’t slept yet. Dead of dawn and the block stays still, Frost on the glass and a bite in the wind. Palm on the wheel like a pulse check hit, Hand on the key like a loaded intent. Whole world numb, like the night got stuck, No soul moving, no sign of blood. Then I feed that fire through steel and dust, Turn it once and the silence erupts. Starts down low, under my skin, Shakes the dark till it lets me in. Cold metal heart, blacktop lungs, One spark and the dead thing runs. Cold start, shake the street awake, Cold start, make the whole frame break. Cam chop hit like a war drum chest, Wake the dead up pounding in my ribs. Cold start, cut through the frozen dark, Cold start, throw a flame in my heart. When the whole world sleeps and the night falls apart, I come alive in a cold start. Cut it up / wake it up Cut it up / wake it up Idle lope got the mirror shook, Windows hum when the headers push. Neighbors twitch when the pavement talks, They know that sound when the camshaft walks. This ain’t noise, this is medicine loud, Anger in the block and my pain burned out. Every rough rev snap, every hard exhaust crack, Feels like dragging my whole damn soul back. No fake love, no lie in chrome, No mixed words in the way it roars. Just clutch, gas, gear, and bite, Me and Betsy breathing in the night. Starts down low, under my skin, Shakes the dark till it lets me in. Cold metal heart, blacktop lungs, One spark and the dead thing runs. Cold start, shake the street awake, Cold start, make the whole frame break. Cam chop hit like a war drum chest, Wake the dead up pounding in my ribs. Cold start, cut through the frozen dark, Cold start, throw a flame in my heart. When the whole world sleeps and the night falls apart, I come alive in a cold start. Key turn. Fuel burns. Steel wakes. Night breaks. Scratch that silence, cut that dark, Let that engine find my heart. No prayer left, no mask to wear, Just fire, smoke, and frozen air. Wake it up Shake it up Rip the dark wide open Wake it up Break it up No more lying broken Cold start Cold start Bring the blacktop back Cold start Cold start Pull my heartbeat back Cold start, shake the street awake, Cold start, make the whole frame break. Cam chop hit like a war drum chest, Wake the dead up pounding in my ribs. Cold start, cut through the frozen dark, Cold start, throw a flame in my heart. When the whole world sleeps and the night falls apart, I come alive in a cold start. No lies in the idle. No fear in the flame. No silence survives When she calls my name. When Betsy screams… that’s when I exist.
