Backstory

Tank's on empty but you're still driving. Mac Miller's Jet Fuel was the darkest honesty — this is that same 4AM energy when you're running on nothing but willpower.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dashboard lit with warnings I've been ignoring for miles
Running on empty but I'm still collecting trials
Eyes half shut, the road's a blurring thread
Somewhere between alive and something closer to dead
They say rest, I say I'll rest when I arrive
But the destination keeps moving and I'm barely alive

[Chorus]
Running on E, running on E
The tank says stop but my soul disagrees
Running on E, running on E
Darkness driving but I won't drop the keys

[Verse 2]
Existential at the red light, staring through the glass
Wondering if the version that survives will be the last
No fuel, no faith, just forward motion
A body in the driver's seat crossing an empty ocean
The dark doesn't scare me — it's the quiet that's loud
Just the engine and my breathing and the weight of the cloud

[Bridge]
Empty tank
Full mind
The darkest miles
Are the ones that define

[Outro]
Running on E...
But I never pulled over
And that's the whole story
