[Intro]
Whispers drift in the yellow glow
[Verse]
The heavy clock strikes three against the wall
The hollow hallway catches every step I let fall
They built a fence out of glances and cold stares
I am walking through the smoke of their silent prayers
My shadow stretches long beneath the yellow light
Searching for a crack in the belly of the night
[Verse]
The pavement is a map of scars and broken lines
I am reading every crack for the hidden signs
They labeled my name before I could speak
A fortress for the strong and a burden for the weak
I peel away the stickers and the jagged ink
Standing on the edge where the heavy spirits sink
[Chorus]
Give me a road that does not bend for pride
Where judgment ghosts have nowhere to hide
I’m chasing a compass in the dead of night
[Chorus]
Give me a road that does not bend for pride
Where judgment ghosts have nowhere to hide
I’ll spark a guiding flame in the darkest night
[Outro]
And I will walk on toward the open light
