Hope the Wheels
By Ryn.
I keep... hearing that rattle,
that, knock knock knocking,
that, orange light chime.
It's always been there,
just, sounds like prattle,
I've been told I should check,
but it's running just fine.
... and if you told me,
that it won't keep working,
I'd probably nod,
pretend I heard the first time.
if I'm being honest,
I got tired of fixing,
every time I tighten one thing,
another starts ticking.
i don't owe this road a thing,
i don't owe this body grace,
if it breaks, fxxx, let it break,
I'll keep the pieces anyway.
let the wheels fall off,
let the bottom hit the road,
let it all shake loose,
there's nothing I can do.
So let the metal twist and groan,
let the fabric split and tear,
every sounds a kind of freedom,
i was already halfway there.
Let the radio slip to silence,
with a whistling, distorted scoff,
let the dash lights fade to nothing
hope the wheels fall off.
Hope the wheels fall off...
hope the damn wheels fall off...
every sound's a promise kept,
every crack a truth I meant,
you can't fix what's made to bend,
sometimes it's easier to end.
So let the metal twist and groan,
let the fabric split and tear,
every sounds a kind of freedom,
i was already halfway there.
Let the radio slip to silence,
with a whistling, distorted scoff,
let the dash lights fade to nothing
hope the wheels fall off.
hope the wheels fall off
hope the damn wheels fall off,
maybe then I'll stop moving,
hope the wheels fall off
hope the wheels fall off...
