Flames in the muffler

[Intro] [Verse 1] Steel teeth bite the dirt, wheels spit out the rain, Mud on my teeth, throttle screaming my name. Fields blur to ghosts, hills rise like a fist, I’m a ghost in the pines where the shadows persist. Engine howls like a wolf, shocks rattle my spine, Every bump’s a confession, every jump’s a new crime. Trees claw at my jacket, their whispers too late— I’m married to momentum, divorced from the brakes. [Chorus] Flames in the muffler, hell in my veins, Sacrifice the straight roads for these jagged remains. They yell “Slow down!”—I laugh, let the wind steal the sound, If I c***h into freedom, let the rubble be my crown. [Verse 2] Headlights chase shadows, voices d***n in the roar, Their pleas turn to static as I p***h through the door. Woods thick as a sermon, branches scribble their threats, I’m rewriting the ending with the sweat on my breath. Four-wheeler’s heart seizing, pistons begging for air, Mud angels behind me, death’s GPS blares. A house or a tree? Both prisons in disguise— I’ll let the speed decide which truth cuts through the lies. [Chorus] Flames in the muffler, hell in my veins, Sacrifice the straight roads for these jagged remains. They yell “Slow down!”—I laugh, let the wind steal the sound, If I c***h into freedom, let the rubble be my crown. [Bridge] Survival’s a wound that won’t scab or bleed clean, They’ll call me a psycho, a ghost in their machine. Madness? Maybe. But the road’s my confessor— Judge me in rearview, where the flames grow fresher. [Outro]
