Lyrics

Engines breathing in the dark
Hands are shaking, grip is tight
Neon numbers on my heart
Waiting for the burning light
Crowd is silent in my head
Every second feels too long
Rubber dreams and words unsaid
This is where I still belong

Countdown echoes in my veins
Five… four… feel the strain
Three… two… hold the wheel
One… make it real

Red lights screaming “don’t you blink”
Green explodes — no time to think
We’re flying inches from the line
Steel and sweat and borrowed time
No regrets, no alibi
Only fire in our eyes
If I fall, if I survive
I was fully alive

Corner tight, I brake too late
Someone dives inside my lane
I don’t curse, I recalibrate
Every loss rewrites the game
Voices rise, my pulse replies
Perfect apex, almost clean
Chasing ghosts at thousand miles
Living in between

Sweat is dripping down my spine
Feels like danger, feels like mine
I don’t see the end just yet
Only speed and respect

Red lights screaming “don’t you blink”
Green explodes — no time to think
We’re flying inches from the line
Steel and sweat and borrowed time
No regrets, no alibi
Only fire in our eyes
If I fall, if I survive
I was fully alive

Screens light up, the world resets
Carbon dreams in full HD
Hands are numb, my shirt is wet
Heartbeats don’t feel virtual to me
No smell of fuel, no scarred skin
No gravel, blood or broken bone
Still my hands are trembling
Like I drove this thing alone

Red lights fade into the green
Fastest run I’ve ever seen
Not the winner — still I smile
We ran hard, we ran wild
Raise a glass to who crossed first
You were better, you deserved
To my team behind the screen
Same damn fire, same damn dream

Headset off, the room comes back
Silent walls, a fading sound
Just a game, they like to say
But my heart’s still racing now
If it moves you, if you care
If you fight till the last lap’s done
It don’t matter where you are
A real race is what you run
