DUI

DUI Verse 1 You wore confidence Like it couldn’t catch fire. Gold teeth smiling At a mouth full of wires. The city folded Into wet black glass. Every red light Looked green through your laugh. You kept saying, “Nothing’s gonna happen.” That’s what gravity Always hears first. ⸻ Pre-Chorus Some people drink to escape. Some people escape before they drink. ⸻ Chorus You insisted on driving home under the influence, High in your Benz like heaven had insurance. One hand on Fate— One hand on the wheel. Turns out invincible Never sounds real. DUI. Everybody thinks they’re immortal Until they don’t… DUI. DUI. Turns out the fastest way to nowhere Still feels like flying just the same. Driving under the influence— DUI. ⸻ Verse 2 The moon looked nervous Behind the overpass. Street signs bent Like witnesses refusing to testify. Your headlights carved Open the dark, Like every mistake Needs an audience. You called fear A lack of imagination. You called luck A personality trait. ⸻ Pre-Chorus The cemetery never argues. It just keeps Making room. ⸻ Chorus You insisted on driving home under the influence, High in your Benz like heaven had insurance. One hand on Fate— One hand on the wheel. Turns out invincible Never sounds real. DUI. Everybody thinks they’re immortal Until they don’t… DUI. DUI. Turns out the fastest way to nowhere Still feels like flying just the same. Driving under the influence— DUI. ⸻ Bridge Blue lights bloom Like flowers Nobody wants. The asphalt remembers Every promise The living don’t. There’s no applause For surviving yourself. Just another sunrise Trying to convince the guilty It’s beautiful. ⸻ Final Chorus You insisted on driving home under the influence, High in your Benz like heaven had insurance. One hand on Fate— One hand on goodbye. You don’t need to hit the bottle To cross the center line. Pride is a substance. So is denial. DUI. Everybody thinks they’re immortal Until they don’t… DUI. DUI. Turns out the fastest way to nowhere Still feels like flying just the same. Driving under the influence— Nobody plans the last mile. DUI. DUI.
