Blindfold on the Freeway

[Verse 1]

Woke up late

Heart like a kicked-in gate

Coffee on my shirt

Laughed till the stain hurt

Speeding through the small talk

Red text

Blue shock

Every little buzz in my hand

Feels like a siren

Feels like a band

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m chasing every tiny spark

Like it’s gonna save me from the dark

I’m wired

I’m tired

I’m fine

I swear I’m fine (I’m fine)

[Chorus]

Blindfold on the freeway

Still I got my foot down

Foot down

Chasing that feel-good replay

Till the whole thing breaks

Spins out

Hit me with another cheap high

I’ll believe it every time somehow

Blindfold on the freeway

I can’t

I won’t

I don’t slow down

[Verse 2]

New town

Same store

Same glow through the sliding door

Cart full of “this will help”

Dust on the last self-help

Laughing at the weekend plans

But my grin keeps cutting my hands

Every joke I throw in the air

Comes back heavy

Hits me bare

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m curving every quiet thought

Before it says the thing I’m scared of

I’m wired

I’m tired

I’m fine

I swear I’m fine (I’m fine)

[Chorus]

Blindfold on the freeway

Still I got my foot down

Foot down

Chasing that feel-good replay

Till the whole thing breaks

Spins out

Hit me with another cheap high

I’ll believe it every time somehow

Blindfold on the freeway

I can’t

I won’t

I don’t slow down

[Bridge]

[3-second lo-fi drum break

Guitars drop to a single dirty stab each bar]

Call it joy

Call it poison

I just call it

“Keep the noise on”

If it’s quiet

I remember

Every promise

Set on ember (hey)

[Chorus]

Blindfold on the freeway

Still I got my foot down

Foot down

Chasing that feel-good replay

Till the whole thing breaks

Spins out

Hit me with another cheap high

I’ll believe it every time somehow

Blindfold on the freeway

I can’t

I won’t

I don’t slow down
