Where The Sky Broke

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Above the city, frost on every stone
the rooftops waiting, calling out my wrongs
Her silhouette rose quiet through the cold
and something ancient in my marrow broke
The sky was low, the clouds about to cry
every choice I made became a trembling line
Kings don’t fall; they freeze beneath their breath
trading warmth for shadows, truth for death
[Pre-Chorus]
The wind turned sharp, like it knew my name
I felt the guilt move through me like a blade
[Chorus]
And the Lord displeased, His silence cracked the air
a winter voice that stripped the branches bare
The rooftops murmured everything I hid
the snow remembers every violent thing I did
And the Lord displeased, His shadow like the sea
pulling at the wreck I tried to keep in me
[Verse 2]
I washed my hands, but blood refused to go
as if the water knew the violence I’d shown
Her message struck me like an icebound tide
no warmth survived the truth I tried to hide
So I buried him in battle’s blinding white
hoping storms could cover what I stole that night
But even blizzards whisper to the stones
and dig up secrets kings pretend they own
[Pre-Chorus]
The cold runs deep; it doesn’t let you flee
you can’t outpace the ache of what you used to be
[Chorus]
And the Lord displeased, His silence cracked the air
a winter voice that stripped the branches bare
The rooftops murmured everything I hid
the snow remembers every violent thing I did
And the Lord displeased, His shadow like the sea
pulling at the wreck I tried to keep in me
[Bridge]
What mercy waits for someone frozen through?
What thaw could rise from everything untrue?
I hear the mountains breathing out my name
as if the earth still trembles at my shame
[Final Chorus]
And the Lord displeased, His whisper turns to wind
it shakes the halls of everything I’ve been
The rooftops echo, hollow, black, and wide
broken glaciers cracking open from inside
And if redemption wants me crawling through the storm
let every icy truth reshape my form
[Outro – pitch-down shadow layer]
the cold remembers
the cold remembers
what I surrendered
