Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) The deadbolt clicks, but the house is still hollow A suitcase of memories too heavy to follow She took the warmth, they took the name Left me the ashes, the cold, and the blame. The dinner table’s a desert of wood I’d explain how it broke if I only could But blood runs thin when the well runs dry Now I’m just a ghost under a charcoal sky. (Chorus) And I’m walking through the static of a life gone gray Trying to find a reason to stumble through the day In the machinery of the concrete and the cold Just a story that’s already been told. But I’m looking for the break, the spark, the light To keep the wolves away for just one more night. (Verse 2) Double shifts and the steam from the vents Counting my worth in the dollars and cents The wind at the bus stop cuts through the coat While the silence of my father still stings in my throat. "You’re on your own now," the echo remains Like the rust on the tracks and the oil in the drains I’m invisible here, just a blur in the crowd While the roar of the city is lonely and loud. (Bridge) Then it happened today, by the bridge on the square A sudden burst of color in the smog-heavy air A stranger’s radio played a song from my youth And for three short minutes, I forgot the truth. The sun hit a puddle, a blinding gold flare And I caught my reflection—I was actually there. (Chorus - Variation) It was a glitch in the sorrow, a skip in the beat A sudden pocket of warmth on a frozen street In the machinery of the concrete and the cold I found a little bit of silver for the soul to hold. Yeah, I caught the break, the spark, the light To keep the darkness back for just one more night. (Outro) The static returns, the gray moves back in But I remember the place where the colors begin. Just a glitch in the system. Just a moment of grace. Still standing. Still here.
