Engine still ticking
I don’t rush the quiet

I don’t floor it when the light turns green
I let the sound fade, let the air get clean
Hands on the wheel, feeling weight in the frame
Every mile I’ve driven left a mark on my name
They chase the blur, I read the signs
Every bend in the road got a reason, a time
I’ve been fast, I’ve been late
Learned real quick what speed can take

Gravel in the tires, dust on the boots
Still standing strong, nothing loose
I don’t need to win every race I’m in
I just need the road to remember where I’ve been

Let the miles settle
Let the noise fall back
I don’t count the seconds
I count what lasts
Let the miles settle
I’m still moving ahead
Same road underneath me
Different pace in my head

I’ve seen days fly by like sparks in the dark
And I’ve seen one night leave a permanent mark
Speed makes noise, silence talks
That’s where I hear my thoughts
I don’t stall, I don’t stall out
I just listen longer before I break out
Some lessons don’t shout
They hum low, steady, figure it out

If I slow down
It’s not fear
It’s respect for what got me here

Let the miles settle
Let the dust lay flat
I don’t chase the moment
I let it come back
Let the miles settle
I’m still moving ahead
Same road underneath me
Different pace in my head

Still rolling
Just listening now
