Rush Hour Escape II Lyrics

Brake lights bleed into the setting sun

Another day's race has just begun

Horns blare a dissonant symphony

As I grip the wheel, white-knuckle anxiety

But in my mind, I'm already gone

Far from this concrete marathon

Rush hour escape, I'm fading away

City turns to mist, I'm drifting astray

Time slows down as I accelerate

Into dreams where I don't hesitate

Emails unread, calls unreturned

A life half-lived, lessons unlearned

But in this gridlock, a thought takes flight

What if I just kept driving through the night?

'Cause in my mind, I've already flown

Beyond this asphalt-paved unknown

Rush hour escape, I'm fading away

City turns to mist, I'm drifting astray

Time slows down as I accelerate

Into dreams where I don't hesitate

Turn signal clicking, a metronome

Counting seconds 'til I'm finally home

But home is wherever the road may lead

When rush hour's grip finally recedes

Rush hour escape, I'm fading away

City turns to mist, I'm drifting astray

Time slows down as I accelerate

Into dreams where I don't hesitate

The traffic parts like a velvet curtain

And I drive off into the uncertain
