Lyrics

Ash in my teeth
Old ghosts on my breath
Every scar that I carved
Whispers "debt
Debt
Debt"
Stained hands on the wheel
Rearview full of flame
Every exit I pass
Spells out my name

I feel the fire in my rearview
Chasing every road I choose
Every sin I thought I buried
Rips the sky in two
If there's a gate at the end of this highway
I know the stories they tell
I hit the gas
But I can't shake
This fear of going to hell

Cheap thrills
Cold nights
Kicked halos in the dust
Laughed loud at the warnings
Turned faith into rust
Now the mirror's a judge
And the dark's keeping score
Every prayer that I dodged
Pounds on my door

I feel the fire in my rearview
Chasing every road I choose
Every sin I thought I buried
Rips the sky in two
If there's a gate at the end of this highway
I know the stories they tell
I hit the gas
But I can't shake
This fear of going to hell

Can you outrun a verdict
On bald
Burning tires?
Can you drown out a verdict
Under towers of wires?
Every mile
Same question
Will the flames ever fade?
Or am I welded forever
To the mess that I made?

I feel the fire in my rearview
Chasing every road I choose
Every sin I thought I buried
Rips the sky in two
If there's a gate at the end of this highway
I know the stories they tell
I hit the gas
But I can't shake
This fear of going to hell

Engine screaming confession
As the red horizon swells
I ride the line
Still alive
Still afraid of hell
