Concrete River Fade

Verse 1

Cold rain drips down the gutter, like a clock that never stops

Another ghost beneath the awning, warming hands in coffee shops

Pavement’s cracked like all our stories, washed-out letters on the wall

This town’s a quiet kind of heavy, and it wraps around us all

Pre-Chorus

Every sunrise feels the same

Another shade of steel and shame

Chorus

In this place where the sky never lifts

Where the storms roll in and never shift

People fade like the paint on these drowned-out streets

Dreams get soaked ‘til they can’t compete

Yeah, this forgotten corner steals your breath

A wet grey lullaby that sings of death

Verse 2

Broken tents beneath the trestle, campfires fighting with the wind

Lonely hearts on borrowed blankets, praying luck might start again

The river swells with all our secrets, dragging memories out to sea

You grow older in the silence, till you’re who you swore you’d never be

Pre-Chorus

Every sunrise feels the same

Another shade of steel and shame

Chorus

In this place where the sky never lifts

Where the storms roll in and never shift

People fade like the paint on these drowned-out streets

Dreams get soaked ‘til they can’t compete

Yeah, this forgotten corner steals your breath

A wet grey lullaby that sings of death

Bridge

But somehow we’re still standing here

Drenched in doubt and cigarette fear

Waiting for a day that might break through

A crack of light nobody knew

Final Chorus

In this place where the sky never lifts

Where the storms roll in and never shift

We crawl through puddles just to feel alive

Another grey day trying to survive

Yeah, this drowned-out hometown wears you thin

But it’s the only place that knows your skin
