LYRICS:

I measure what I’m made of in the margins of the map
Little notes in every corner where the daylight doesn’t lap
Put a pin in every failure, draw a line through what I lack
Every circle that I flatten is a way to not go back
Hands steady / head low / breath slow / eyes front
I don’t pray for the door—I learn the push of the shunt
I keep receipts for my ghosts and let the numbers choose
If the meter says I’m ready, then I’ve got less to lose

I can hear the engine call my name
Holding steady, learning through the flame

Draw a line through everything
I’m still the redline whispering
If I fall, I fall in time
If I break, I keep the sign
Every turn a throughline ring
Back to where the pulse begins
Draw a line through everything—
I’m still the redline whispering

I keep moving like a rumor that the future wants to check
Every habit is a compass that I’m wearing at my neck
When the doubts come in a bundle, I unwind them to the thread
If the tension makes me tremble, that’s a language I can read
Step weight / step weight / keep faith / translate
Put the pressure on the steel and let the angles calibrate
I don’t need a perfect exit, just a path that doesn’t lie
If the gauge is in the red, then that’s the place I learn to drive

I can hear the engine call my name
Holding steady, learning through the flame

Draw a line through everything
I’m still the redline whispering
If I fall, I fall in time
If I break, I keep the sign
Every turn a throughline ring
Back to where the pulse begins
Draw a line through everything—
I’m still the redline whispering

Hold the wheel and breathe it in
Name the fear and let it spin
Keep the truth where pressure wins
I return and start again

Draw a line through everything
I’m still the redline whispering
If I fall, I fall in time
If I break, I keep the sign
Every turn a throughline ring
Back to where the pulse begins
Draw a line through everything—
I’m still the redline whispering
I’m still the redline whispering
I’m still the redline whispering
