Safety first_JA

[Verse 1] Safety first, above all else, that’s the rule we’re told, But the machine is humming loud, and the night is cold. I’ve got a job to finish, I’ve got a race to run, But the price of careless hands is never really done. [Pre-Chorus] And the warning signs are flickering, like ghosts upon the wall, But the rhythm of the engine drowns the echo of the fall. I can feel the heat approaching, I can hear the metal cry, And the voice inside is screaming, but I’m too afraid to try. [Chorus] And if the sparks fly high tonight, and the metal starts to bend, I’ll remember every warning, every word they said back then. But the moment’s all I’ve got now, and the choice is mine to make, Will I walk away in silence, or embrace the coming break? [Drop] (Instrumental surge, pulsing bass, distorted synths) [Post-Chorus] Break, break, break the line, Hold the flame, or let it shine. Break, break, break the doubt, Breathe it in, or let it out. [Verse 2] The gloves are worn, the visor cracked, but I’m still standing here, With the hum beneath my fingers and the ghost of every fear. They told me “slow and steady,” but the clock is ticking fast, And the dream I’m chasing forward might be shattered if I last. [Pre-Chorus] And the sweat is on my forehead, and the tremor’s in my hand, But the future’s just a shadow that I barely understand. I could stop and turn the lever, I could cut the power down, But the silence after chaos is the loudest, darkest sound. [Chorus] And if the sparks fly high tonight, and the metal starts to bend, I’ll remember every warning, every word they said back then. But the moment’s all I’ve got now, and the choice is mine to make, Will I walk away in silence, or embrace the coming break? [Drop] (Instrumental surge, heavier, faster) [Breakdown] (Stripped back, whispered vocals over minimal beat) Safety first... they said it clear... But the night is cold, and the end is near... One more turn, one more spark... Is the cost of glory worth the dark? [Outro] And the sparks die down, and the metal cools, I’m standing in the silence, breaking all the rules. The machine is still, but the hum remains, A lesson carved in fire, written in my veins. Safety first, above all else... but I chose the flame.
