No Easy Fix

to control

Verse 4

Red line in the sunset, I rattle down the lane

Gas fumes in my veins, freedom in the pain

Nothing to reboot, nothing to upgrade

Alive in the static, I’ll never fade

Chorus

Celebrate the rust, the death of shine

Post Chorus

Rust rider / Spitting out dust

Rust rider / Outrunning the rush

Rust rider / Outrunning the rush

Celebrate the rust, the death of shine

Verse 1

Turn the key, it coughs and [Bridge (drop to near silence)]

I learned to wait,

I learned to listen,

For engines…

And hearts…

To keep on kickin’. fix, they say it’s fine,

But the cause is lost in the wires and time.

I’m waiting,

Verse 2

Rolled it slow into the bay,

Oil and dust and fluorescent gray.

They patched it up, it runs again,

But nobody knows what broke it then.

Mechanic shrugs, wipes his hands,

“Could be nothing… could be bad.”

Chorus

Easy fix, but my chest still tight,

Green light flickers, not red, not white.

I’m waiting,

Bridge (drop to near silence)

Heartbeat hum in a plastic chair,

Staring holes through the linoleum glare.

Just like then — the smell of clean,

Machines breathing where people should be.

I learned to wait,

I learned to listen,

For engines…

And hearts…

To keep on kickin’.

Final Chorus (full fuzz, but restrained)

Easy fix don’t mean okay,

Sometimes ghosts just hide away.

I’m waiting, waiting in the room,

For good news to come through.

Outro

Guitar feedback swells, then steadies

— the smell of clean,

Machines breathing where people should be.

I learned

Fade-Out Drift

Rusted antenna humming static sleep

Satellite silence, promises I keep

Distant howl echoes in my chrome skull

Lost transmissions, forever half-full

Tarmac ripples under cosmic haze

Numbers worn down on my license plates

No destination, just a backward glance

Bouncing off planets in a fever trance

Outro Mirage

Shadow stretches, engine ticks low

Memory flicks in a rearview glow

Headlights blend with the moths and dust

No map left, just the road I trust

Eternal Roll

Wheel keeps spinning, stories erode

Foot pressed steady,
