[Intro]
Ash on my lungs
Smoke in my teeth
Tires kiss flame
I don’t hit the brakes (nah)
[Verse 1]
Chrome on the wheel, veins full of brimstone
Gas tank grinning, hungry for a headstone
Exit signs melting, letters run like wax
Every mile marker just a body bag tag
Billboard halos, angels with the eyes scratched
Moon looks sick, bleeding on the flyover ramp
They queue at the gate, I pass ‘em in the fast lane
Whole world whimper, I just let the laugh bang (ha)
[Chorus]
Set fire to the highways, watch it all go down
Ashes in the rearview, city just a ghost town
Most get a seat in hell
I get a throne in hell
Riding on the hellbound highways, crowned in the smoke I smell
Set fire to the highways, burning every route I found
Most get a seat in hell
I get a throne in hell
[Verse 2]
Red sky low, kissing on the windshield
Heat wave humming, skin starts to unseal
Guardrails twisted, looking like a crown now
Flames spell my name, carved in the black clouds
Lost souls hitchhike, hands out, eyes dim
I ain’t stopping, I’m the one that raised this brim
They beg for a place, they begging for a last chance
I just see subjects staring at the king’s stance
[Bridge]
They fall in rows
I rise in smoke (rise in smoke)
They cough that coal
I breathe that hope (dark hope)
You fear that pit
I paved that road
You pray for light
I make it glow
[Chorus]
Set fire to the highways, watch it all go down
Ashes in the rearview, city just a ghost town
Most get a seat in hell
I get a throne in hell
Riding on the hellbound highways, crowned in the smoke I smell
Set fire to the highways, burning every route I found
Most get a seat in hell
I get a throne in hell
