Gunmetal Sky
LYRICS
Verse 1
There’s a weight in the wind, and it cuts like a blade
Thunder rolls low, like a debt that won’t fade
Clouds hang heavy, the color of steel
Every mile I drive feels a little too real
The road’s got a hum like a song I once knew
But the chorus is gone, and the verses are through
Every shadow I pass wears the shape of your name
But the farther I go, the more it all feels the same
Chorus
Under a gunmetal sky, the truth comes down hard
Like rain on a roof and cracks in my guard
Every bolt of lightning shows what I’ve denied
And there’s no outrunnin’ a gunmetal sky
Verse 2
I see your ghost in the headlights’ glare
Fadin’ in the fog, but I know you’re there
Every drop on the glass is a word left unsaid
Every storm that rolls in pulls you back in my head
There’s a taste in the air like the start of a fire
A pull in my chest I can’t seem to tire
I keep drivin’ on like the road might forgive
But the sky above knows the life I’ve lived
Chorus
Under a gunmetal sky, the truth comes down hard
Like rain on a roof and cracks in my guard
Every bolt of lightning shows what I’ve denied
And there’s no outrunnin’ a gunmetal sky
Bridge
You can’t hide from the storm when it knows where you are
It’ll follow you close like a beat-up car
With the engine low and the headlights dim
Til you face what you’ve lost and the shape of your sins
Final Chorus
Under a gunmetal sky, the truth comes down hard
Like rain on a roof and cracks in my guard
Every bolt of lightning shows what I’ve denied
And there’s no outrunnin’ a gunmetal sky
Outro
The clouds roll on, but they leave behind
A sky made of steel, and a shadow like mine
