The Black Mile
LYRICS
Verse 1
Gravel kicks up like smoke in the night
Moon cuts sharp, but it hides out of sight
Every mile marker’s a ghost in the haze
Pullin’ me deeper into this maze
Pre-Chorus
No matter how far, I can’t turn away
The black mile’s got a price I still pay
Chorus
On the black mile, the shadows run deep
Every turn’s a secret I can’t keep
It pulls me down, it owns my name
The harder I fight, the more I remain
On the black mile, where the light won’t stay
Verse 2
Lines on the pavement fade into one
No start, no mercy, and no place to run
The wind’s got a whisper, cold and low
Tellin’ me truths I don’t wanna know
Pre-Chorus
No matter how far, I can’t turn away
The black mile’s got a price I still pay
Chorus
On the black mile, the shadows run deep
Every turn’s a secret I can’t keep
It pulls me down, it owns my name
The harder I fight, the more I remain
On the black mile, where the light won’t stay
Bridge
Every mile’s a mirror, showin’ my face
But the eyes look older in that place
If the end’s out there, I can’t see it clear
Just the hum of the wheels and the weight of the fear
Final Chorus
On the black mile, the shadows run deep
Every turn’s a secret I can’t keep
It pulls me down, it owns my name
The harder I fight, the more I remain
On the black mile, where the light won’t stay
Outro
The road don’t end, it just swallows you whole
And the black mile keeps your soul
