Cut The Dark

(Intro – burnout / launch) VROOOOOM—RRRRAAAAHH!! Smoke in the air, I’m breakin’ the still Quiet streets in my memory still Now it’s loud—but I’m louder (Verse 1) I look around—this ain’t how it was Backroad days, we were raised on trust Woods wide open, air stayed clean Now it’s all noise, know what I mean We had roots, yeah faith ran deep People stood on what they’d keep Lines were lines, truth was clear Now it’s twisted everywhere I steer Some let it slide, say “it is what it is” I can’t ignore what I know exists I was raised where the Word stood tall So I won’t stay quiet watching it fall (Pre-Chorus) I don’t drift, I don’t bend Truth ain’t something I defend halfway in There’s a line in the road—I see it plain Choose your side when you pick your lane (Chorus – heavy / chant) Satan sux—I don’t ride that lane Truth in my tank, I don’t switch my frame Dark tries creep but I cut that line God in the driver seat—every time REDLINE—ROAR! I don’t fake, don’t blend Stand on truth ‘til the very end From the light to the stripe, I stay aligned Faith on fire, no compromise (Verse 2) Back then belief didn’t cost your life Didn’t spark hate, didn’t start that fight Now it’s flipped, now it’s sold Truth gets buried just to fit the mold But I see through the smoke and glare There’s a deeper war in the air Not flesh and blood that I’m up against It’s a battle for the soul’s defense Call it straight—I won’t dress it up Light stays light, dark’s still corrupt I won’t bow to the pressure wave I’d rather stand than be a slave (Bridge – breakdown / roar) RRRRAAAAHHH— engine scream, soul ignite I ain’t backin’ down from wrong or right Temptation flash but I hold that wheel Truth too real for me to conceal (Final Chorus – full throttle) Satan sux—I don’t ride that lane Truth in my tank, I don’t switch my frame Dark tries creep but I cut that line God in the driver seat—every time REDLINE—ROAR! I don’t fake, don’t bend Ten toes down, I will defend When the world shakes, I stay on track No turnin’ off, no lookin’ back (Outro – engine cool down) Idle drop… tick… tick… Still standin’—that’s how I live Road got loud, but I stayed true Now it’s full throttle straight on through
