Sterling Cade | "Dark Passenger" [Hi-Tech AOR]

Описание: LYRICS:

[Verse]
After-hours mind with a flicker and hum
Old reels roll where the doubts come from
Hallway feels long, but I hold my stance
Keys in my palm, I don’t leave it to chance
He waits for the swerve when the lights go thin
Breath finds form, and I square my chin
I learned this route when the floor ran slick
Grip on the wheel, don’t give him a pick

[Pre-Chorus]
When the room tilts hard, I set my pace
Count the beats and reclaim my space

[Chorus]
Dark passenger, you don’t get the wheel
You don’t get the map or the way I heal
Ride if you want in the back of my head
I choose the road, I choose what’s said

[Verse]
He bargains soft with a counterfeit calm
Paints quick fixes that come with a bomb
Sells me a shortcut framed like grace
I watch the hands and I see the face
Fear writes headlines under my ribs
I read the print, but I cut the fibs
Scared shitless, still I plant my feet
Shake out the tremor and refuse defeat

[Pre-Chorus]
When the pull gets sharp, I hold the line
Name the truth and make it mine

[Chorus]
Dark passenger, you don’t get the wheel
You don’t get the map or the way I heal
Ride if you want in the back of my head
I choose the road, I choose what’s said

[Bridge]
I see the ways that it screws up time
Measured heat that steadies the mind
Hands at ten and two till the turn runs out
I stay present; I drown the doubt

[Breakdown]
Not my fate, not my guide
You can ride, but you ride behind

[Chorus]
Dark passenger, you don’t get the wheel
You don’t get the map or the way I heal
Ride if you want in the back of my head
I choose the road, and I’m miles ahead

[Outro]
My dark passenger
