Restless
©2024

Verse
You tell me to surrender the dream is dead and gone
To look at my forever with desperate tears and scorn
Stay within the guidelines of all they planned for me
But they don’t understand the way complacency is born
All I’ve ever driven was dead into a storm

Chorus
Watch me ride away dust behind the wheels
Faded taillights burning in the distance
Through the pouring rain, lightning all around me
I can only live to be restless

You look my way in judgement, you think I’ve lost my mind
You tell me to stop dreaming and just disappear
I’m on a new horizon far beyond your gaze
Feet on the ground, wings to air, it seems I’m going nowhere

I’ll crank the engine I am on my way
Watch me ride away dust behind the wheels
Faded taillights burning in the distance
Through the pouring rain, lightning all around me
I can only live to be restless

It is my existence to be of pure resistance
Passion fueled by wonder, all reason in the wind

Watch me ride away dust behind the wheels
Faded taillights burning in the distance
Through the pouring rain, lightning all around me
I can only live to be restless
