Second Chance Charade - Backroads Lyrics

Engine humming melodies, matching my heartbeat
Loneliness, my company, shadows in the backseat
Pills got me floating, colors blur and blend
Chasing after peace, but it's around the bend
Streetlights like spotlights on my solo show
Pain is the passenger that never lets go
Tires on the gravel, music up loud
Trying to drown the thoughts that always bring me down
Riding down these back roads, trying to escape my mind
Smoke clouds in the moonlight, leave the world behind
Islands in the rearview, they've been hard to find
Lost between the stars, now hoping I'll be fine
City in the distance, fading like my past
Questions in the smoke rings, answers never last
Love was just a detour, I took too fast
Now I'm on this journey, don't know if I'll crash
Headlights cutting through the darkness like my fears
Silence in the night sky, whispers in my ears
Gravity can't hold me when I'm in this state
But coming down is harder when you can't escape
Maybe I'm just running from the things I can't control
Maybe getting high is digging me a deeper hole
Speeding through the night, but the night's inside of me
Looking for a sign somewhere on this empty street
Riding down these back roads, trying to escape my mind
Smoke clouds in the moonlight, leave the world behind
Islands in the rearview, they've been hard to find
Lost between the stars, now hoping I'll be fine
Hoping I'll be fine
Hoping I'll be fine
