The Sky Blinks First

Intro

The ceiling keeps unfinished prayers.

Static breathes between the walls.

Silence loads the gun.

⸻

Verse 1

Shadows pace the edges of the mind,

names carved deep but never said.

Every thought walks the same tightrope,

every hope already bled.

Calm on the surface,

War under skin.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Pressure climbs behind the eyes,

stars feel closer than the ground—

Don‘t look away now.

⸻

Chorus (BIG DROP)

Eyes burn high in fractured skies,

steady through the violence.

When the noise eats everything alive,

light refuses silence.

Nothing comes before this.

Nothing stands above.

Closeness over consequence—

Call it love.

⸻

Verse 2

Battle maps inside the skull,

trenches filled with broken sleep.

Every future folds itself

around the things worth keeping.

Lines exist for weaker hearts—

They always break.

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2

Faith survives without a voice,

held together by restraint—

Until the Moment it doesn‘t.

⸻

Chorus (VARIATION)

Eyes still burn in open skies,

watching fractures multiply.

When the war goes feral inside,

stars don’t blink an eye.

Priority set in Stone.

No Backup Plan.

If everything gets sacrificed—

So be it.

⸻

BREAKDOWN (SLOW, DISGUSTING)

No crown.

No heaven.

No clean hands.

Lines get crossed when blood runs close.

Truth survives where mercy goes.

No disguise.

No pretend.

Only loyalty at the end.

⸻

Final Chorus (HALF-TIME → FULL BLAST)

Eyes remain when skies collapse,

unmoving through the end.

If the cost is everything,

everything gets spent.

When all that’s left is ash and breath—

This still stands.

⸻

Outro

The war still breathes behind closed eyes…

And the Sky blinks First.
