Wild Ride Of The Translucid Mind

Verse 1

Engine hum cuts through the haze

Passengers silent lost in their gaze

Rain streaks tracing patterns on the pane

Reckless hope somewhere in the rain

Pre-Chorus

Rolling past towns we used to know

Faster now with nowhere left to go

Chorus

We’re on this wild ride

No one at the wheel, just drifting by

Thought we’d figured out the guide

But the lines have blurred and none of us know why

Post-Chorus

Wild ride, wild ride

Headlights, roadside

Verse 2

Maps torn in half in the backseat

Sunrise leaking through broken dreams

Questions folding under heavy heat

The future’s fading at the seams

Pre-Chorus

And every turn leads further away

From every word we thought we would say

Chorus

We’re on this wild ride

No one at the wheel, just drifting by

Thought we’d figured out the guide

But the lines have blurred and none of us know why

Post-Chorus

Wild ride, wild ride

Headlights, roadside

Symphonic Solo

(Strings swell and drift, woodwinds weaving through tension, percussion building quietly and then fading)

Chorus

We’re on this wild ride

No one at the wheel, just drifting by

Now the signal’s lost outside

And we’re left with noise and bruised goodbyes

Post-Chorus

Wild ride, wild ride

Somewhere outside

Wild ride, wild ride

We drift, collide
