From the recording Stress of Acceleration
Lyrics
I light the fuse in the hush before the dawn,
E flat minor trembling under every step I draw,
Chasing the edge where the last safe breath is gone,
And I feel the void lean in as I launch toward the flaw.
No hand on the wheel, no prayer in the air,
Just the burn of the dare and the weight of the dark,
I cut through the silence like a blade through despair,
[Chorus]
I’m going faster and faster, straight into the black,
Burning through the pressure, no way to turn back,
Aiming at the end of the universe, I never look back,
Stress of acceleration, and I’m never coming back.
The drums roll deep like a storm under stone,
The lead line flashes fast, clean as broken glass,
I’ve got no map, only thunder and bone,
And I’m racing the night where the stars fall past.
No looking behind, no slowing my fall,
If I touch the end, I’ll be wearing the scar.
Deeper, deeper, the engine in my chest still screams,
I disappear in the motion, chasing impossible dreams.
[Chorus]
I’m going faster and faster, straight into the black,
Burning through the pressure, no way to turn back,
Aiming at the end of the universe, I never look back,
Stress of acceleration, and I’m never coming back.
Deeper, deeper, the engine in my chest still screams,
I disappear in the motion, chasing impossible dreams.
