Burning in the Rearview

Verse 1
Headlights painting shadows on my skin,
I’m drifting through the places I’ve already been.
The silence hits harder when it’s 2AM,
And every thought I buried starts to breathe again.
Pre‑Chorus
I’m a slow collapse in a moving car,
A fading light from a dying star.
Trying to outrun who I am so far,
But the night knows every scar.
Chorus
I’m burning in the rearview, fading into smoke,
Running from the pieces of myself I never spoke.
The darkness keeps calling like it knows what I’ve been through,
But I’m still moving forward — even if I’m breaking too.
Verse 2
My heartbeat echoes in the empty air,
Feels like I’m confessing to a world that isn’t there.
I’m haunted by the quiet and the weight I always wear,
But the road keeps pulling me somewhere.
Pre‑Chorus
I’m a slow collapse in a moving car,
A fading light from a dying star.
Trying to outrun who I am so far,
But the night knows every scar.
Chorus
I’m burning in the rearview, fading into smoke,
Running from the pieces of myself I never spoke.
The darkness keeps calling like it knows what I’ve been through,
But I’m still moving forward — even if I’m breaking too.
Bridge
Maybe I’m meant to glow in the dark,
Maybe the cracks are where I start.
Maybe the fire in me isn’t falling apart —
Maybe it’s just my heart.
Final Chorus
I’m burning in the rearview, but I’m not the same,
Learning how to rise without extinguishing the flame.
The darkness keeps calling, but it can’t define my truth —
I’m still moving forward, even if I’m breaking too.
