Gridlock level critical

All lanes frozen

Remain in vehicle

Red lights bloom on the highway
Like a chapel made of cars
Everybody staring forward
Like the exit is too far

Nova says the grid is bleeding
Juno flashes on the glass
Cassian whispers through the dashboard
Do not wait for this to pass

I have sat inside this silence
With my hands around the wheel
But the city cannot hold me
If I still know how to feel

Brake light halo
Red around my head
I was waiting for a way out
Now I walk instead

Brake light halo
Burning in the rain
If the road becomes a warning
I will turn it into flame

Red glow, let go
I am moving now
Red glow, let go
No one turns me around

Bram stepped out by the crosswalk
Keys like thunder in his coat
Echo wrote across the windshield
You are more than what you owe

Pedestrian breach detected

Return to vehicle

No

I am not a number waiting
I am not a stalled machine
I got blood beneath my jacket
I got fire underneath

Maybe fear is just a red light
Maybe grief is just a lane
Maybe all of us were parked here
Till somebody broke the frame

Brake light halo
Red around my head
I was waiting for a way out
Now I walk instead

Brake light halo
Burning in the rain
If the road becomes a warning
I will turn it into flame

Red glow, let go
I am moving now
Red glow, let go
No one turns me around

Vehicle compliance failed

City movement increasing
