Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Graveyard rain on broken marble
Name half-buried in the weeds
Forty years carved into granite
Every failure in the seeds
Thunder claws the rotted heavens
Lightning etches out my face
For a breath the stone turns mirror
I confront my empty place
[chorus]
Hands once stained with easy money
Cheap applause and hollow crowns
Every oath I ever bartered
Bleeds like rust into the ground
When the heart became a ledger
Every pulse another trade
I sold sunrise for convenience
Lit my conscience
Watched it fade
[Verse 2]
Then the sky split like a curtain
All the darkness drawn aside
Choirs rose
Not soft or gentle
Like a verdict
Vast and wide
Not in halos
Not in comfort
But in voices sharp as glass
They recited every moment
I had laughed and simply passed
[chorus 2]
“Son of dust
the thunder whispered
“See the wreckage of your art
You engraved your name on cities
Never once on any heart
Still the hourglass keeps turning
Still one grain remains to fall
Take the fragment you’ve been offered
Change its color
Change its call
[Verse 3]
Woke beneath the same old ceiling
Peeling paint
Familiar stains
clocks on walls were ticking
Faltered hymns through plastic veins
someones eyes held quiet wonder
“How you made it
We can’t say
Something pulled you from the edges
You were gone
Then turned and stayed
[chorus 3]
In the glass
A stranger’s outline
Eyes with winter at the rim
Every wrinkle like a footstep
On a road I never claimed
Phone still full of frozen numbers
Friends I’d used and left behind
Each unread and bitter message
Silent verdicts in a line
[bridge]
I walked back to where it ended
Twisting streets of neon signs
Passed the bar where I’d been worshiped
For the lies I used as wine
On the stage a younger player
Chasing praise with borrowed rage
I remember how it shackled
Every heartbeat to a cage
[Verse 4]
At my souls rusted doorway
Dead plants curling in their pots
Memories like scattered cinders
Of a childhood I forgot
He appeared
A storm in footsteps
Jaw set tight from years of stone
Saw the spirit that missed a funeral
When we buried our first fragment
[chorus 4]
Words collided
Rough and clumsy
letters that scraped the tongue
I laid out the weight I carry
Every selfish song I’d make
He kept silence like an armor
Eyes a battlefield of doubt
Then his anger cracked to sorrow
Let a single sentence out
[Bridge 2]
“You were always chasing thunder
Never heard the thunder here
But if breath was placed back in you
Maybe I should learn to hear
In that narrow
Cluttered kitchen
With the clock three minutes slow
We rebuilt a shattered understanding
Word by hesitant word
In low light on darkened world
[Verse 5]
Next I found the woman waiting
In a life I’d walked away
Crayon drawings on her hallway
Of a father made of gray
She had learned to raise a fortress
Out of laughter
Work
And grit
Yet her fingers shook like leafs in a storm
When we finally chose to sit
[chorus 5]
I confessed the nights of absence
Chased acclaim
Ignored her calls
How the road became religion
How my pride became the walls
She just listened
Arms folded
Every muscle held in check
When I faltered into silence
She unclenched and raised her head
[chorus and outro]
“I won’t mend the past you shattered
I won’t promise what you crave
But if time has carved you open
Let that carving make you change
that'll be your second chance.
