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
