Where The Sky Broke

♪ Synced lyrics coming soon

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

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 the cold remembers the cold remembers what I surrendered
