Hydroplane
Drift
Tires losing road. Vocals skim over aquatic loss of control, the sound of floating when you meant to grip. This track is the moment between traction and accident.
Lyrics
Wipers can't keep up with what's coming down
Headlights swallowed two feet from the hood
Not driving anymore, just along for the ride
The wheel a suggestion, the road a memory
Somewhere the highway still exists
Somewhere the lines still mean something
When the wheels lose the road
And the road loses the earth
There's a second where everything
Returns to what it was
Just water finding water
Just gravity and grace
Radio static fills the space
Between lightning and thunder count
One Mississippi, two—
The world goes white
When the wheels lose the road
And the road loses the earth
There's a second where everything
Returns to what it was
Just water finding water
Just gravity and grace
Not afraid to lose control
Control was the illusion
The storm was always driving
I was just the passenger
Gravity and grace
Gravity and grace
(Fades into rain)
