Ghost of the Interstate

[Intro]
[Verse]
Diesel smoke in the air
God knows I don't care
Hands glued to the wheel
How this engine might feel
Sixteen gears in the dark
Looking for a little spark
Tires scream on the tar
I have driven way too far
[Pre-Chorus]
The clouds are turning black
There is no turning back
The sky begins to crack
I am falling off the track
[Chorus]
Outrun the thunder
Pull the world under
I am the lightning
Something so frightening
Fuel in my heavy veins
Breaking all the rusty chains
Ghost in the rearview mirror
Nothing's ever getting clearer
[Post-Chorus]
Gravel in my throat
Sinking like a lead boat
Rain hits the glass
Watching the miles pass
[Verse]
Left her at the gate
Couldn't bear the weight
Now it is way too late
To negotiate with fate
The needle's in the red
Voices screaming in my head
Better off if I was dead
On this cold and lonely bed
[Pre-Chorus]
The clouds are turning black
There is no turning back
The sky begins to crack
I am falling off the track
[Chorus]
Outrun the thunder
Pull the world under
I am the lightning
Something so frightening
Fuel in my heavy veins
Breaking all the rusty chains
Ghost in the rearview mirror
Nothing's ever getting clearer
[Bridge]
Double kick is thumping
My tired heart is jumping
Fuzz bass in the floor
I can't take no more
Baritone strings are humming
The storm is finally coming
Grind the metal gears
Drowning out the years
[Solo]
[Hook]
Keep the hammer down
Leave this ghost town
Wear the thorny crown
Watch the shadows drown
[Chorus]
Outrun the thunder
Pull the world under
I am the lightning
Something so frightening
Fuel in my heavy veins
Breaking all the rusty chains
Ghost in the rearview mirror
Nothing's ever getting clearer
[Outro]
