Overdrive

Still running hot, lungs never reset

Every breath burns like unpaid debt

Jaw stays tight, legs stay mean

I don't come down, I live in between

Ground don't warn, it just gives

I don't ask how long a body lives

Heart bangs loud, still redline inside

This ain't ignition, this is the ride

No off switch wired in my frame

Pain don't stop me, it knows my name

I don't slow when the cracks get wide

I stay right here on the other side

Still in overdrive

Ground falls out but I don't die

Still in overdrive

Form holds when the whole world slides

Press me hard, I don't bend

This speed ain't a pace, it never ends

Still in overdrive

I don't shut down, I stay alive

I stay alive

Hands shake once, then they lock again

That's the cost of staying in

Sleep don't land, pulse don't fade

Every calm second gets outpaced

Balance laughs on a razor thin

I don't fight it, I lean in

Every step says this could snap

I step anyway, fuck looking back

Body screams but the line stays clean

I don't remember what slow means

Everyone had already failed

I'm still here and still derailed

Still in overdrive

Ground falls out but I don't die

Still in overdrive

Form holds when the whole world slides

Press me hard, I don't bend

This speed ain't a pace, it never ends

Still in overdrive

Don't shut down, I stay alive

I stay alive

No pause, no breath, no room to stall

Every step lands crooked but I don't fall

Ground keeps twitching, spine stays tight

Vision shakes but I lock my sight

Pain taps in like this is it

I tap back harder, outpace the hit

No slowdown clause, no backup plan

I stay upright where others can't

Cracks keep calling my name out loud
