Lyrics
Verse 1
White flag waves
Then it falls from view
He cuts the lights
Lets the echoes through
Engine ticks
Like a wristwatch wound too tight
Smoke in his lungs
Ash in his bite
Chorus
He crossed the line into the tunnels
Where the cheering turns to stone
Gold on the dash
Hands on the wheel
But it feels like driving alone
He won that war in the open
Now he's buried with the sound turned down
He crossed the line into the tunnels
Crowned and somehow drowned
Verse 2
Rubber scars
On his shaking hands
Name in paint
On the broken stands
Photoflash ghosts
Still burn his eyes
First place feels
Like a thin disguise
Bridge
What did it take?
Every friend
Every breath
Every break
What does he keep?
Just the hum
Just the dark
Just the ache (oh)
Chorus
He crossed the line into the tunnels
Where the cheering turns to stone
Gold on the dash
Hands on the wheel
But it feels like driving alone
He won that war in the open
Now he's haunted by the quiet sound
He crossed the line into the tunnels
Crowned and somehow drowned
