Spark in the Grey

[Verse 1]
Fog rolls over the asphalt line
Counting the hours, losing track of time
Static whispers through the empty room
Chasing shadows under gathering gloom
Every compass points to shifting sand
Nothing solid underneath my hand

[Chorus]
And the night is heavy, thick with doubt
Like a fire dying, running out
Still a spark is burning in the grey
Lighting up the middle of the way
In the deepest dark, a quiet breath
Holding steady underneath the stress

[Verse 2]
Riffling papers on a cluttered desk
Answers fading, leaving only quest
Echoes bouncing off the hollow wall
Waiting for the other shoe to fall
Yet the morning waits beyond the hill
Even when the world is standing still

[Chorus]
And the night is heavy, thick with doubt
Like a fire dying, running out
Still a spark is burning in the grey
Lighting up the middle of the way
In the deepest dark, a quiet breath
Holding steady underneath the stress

[Bridge]
Through the turbulence, an iron spine
Tracing outlines of a grand design
Not a promise made of easy gold
Just a warmth against the rising cold

[Outro]
Keep the step ahead
Dawn ahead
[Instrumental fade]
