Wheels in Shadow

Lyrics:
Rusty axles scream down the ghostly road
Potholes eat my tires where none have strode
Gas gauge flickers like a dying star
I'm barely alive in this haunted car

Stop and scavenge in the shadows of despair
The fumes of terror heavy in the forest air
Creaking metal groans with every weary turn
This car
This nightmare
It will not let me burn

Moss oozes green from the hood to the side
Branches claw like demons
Nowhere to hide
Loose bolts rattle with their haunting song
But I can't stop moving
Can't stay too long

The headlights cut the dark just like a blade
Illuminating faces that quickly fade
They're watching from the hollows
From the trees' spine
Keep the engine purring
A lifeline
It's mine

Stop and scavenge in the shadows of despair
The fumes of terror heavy in the forest air
Creaking metal groans with every weary turn
This car
This nightmare
It will not let me burn

Every mile gained feels cursed and cruel
Every shadow's eyes
Dark and fuel
Shifting gears like whispers echo in the night
A broken map of horror
No exit in sight

Metal wheezes bolts scream their pain
A ghost in the trunk drives me insane
I hammer I wrench yet the motor grieves
Clanking in rhythm with every scream of leaves

Through the forest stained angry with dread
My car crawls forward though it’s nearly dead
The shadows start closing as lights give out
The horrors are upon me before I can shout.
