Verse 1:
A quiet night, a simple drive
A younger brother just enjoying the ride
The streetlights blur as they speed on home
Unaware of the danger, about to unfold
Green light ahead, but fate had a plan
Life altered in moments, no one could understand
Chorus:
Hear the brakes screech, the violent meet
Metal crashes, the world skips a beat
Echoes in the silence, a chilling repeat
The flatline of a heartbeat
Verse 2:
The world spins, glass shatters around
A heart stops in the backseat, no more sound
An innocent life, just slipped away
A family shattered in just one play
A senseless loss on a night so still
A void that nothing could ever fill
Chorus:
Hear the brakes screech, the violent meet
Metal crashes, the world skips a beat
Echoes in the silence, a chilling repeat
The flatline of a heartbeat
Verse 3:
Morning breaks, the news spreads wide
A community in mourning, a family’s pride
Screens show the wreckage, the pain is acute
Sympathies pour for the tragic dispute
Yet somewhere, gratitude quietly sings
For those spared, life’s fragile strings
Chorus:
Hear the brakes screech, the violent meet
Metal crashes, the world skips a beat
Echoes in the silence, a chilling repeat
The flatline of a heartbeat
Outro:
In the still of the night, remember the cost
Of lives intertwined and those we have lost
Each heartbeat precious, a story untold
In the flatline of a heartbeat, a tale so cold
