Violet Skyline (version 2)

Verse

Grey light on the dashboard glass

Taxis thin where streets go past

City hums a tired sigh

Sunrise finds me halfway

Six hours lost in amber haze

Feet still moving through the phase

No clock left inside my chest

Just this warm and quiet rest

Pre-Chorus

Something's lifting, something's slow

Skin remembers what we used to know

Every muscle starts to unwind

Nothing left but gold on time

Chorus

Gold light, violet skyline

We were running till the night went blind

Now my pulse is matching gold

Never felt so old and still and free

Violet skyline, let it in

Something's lifting, something's thin

Verse

Empty bottles, floor-polished bright

Sneakers warm from holding on too tight

Somebody's laughing down the street

Sun comes up like it owns us all

Strangers smiling through the haze

Hands still reaching for a beat that's gone

Bassline fading into birdsong

Nighttime folds up into gold

Pre-Chorus

Something's lifting, something's slow

Skin remembers what we used to know

Every muscle starts to unwind

Nothing left but gold on time

Chorus

Gold light, violet skyline

We were running till the night went blind

Now my pulse is matching gold

Never felt so old and still and free

Violet skyline, let it in

Something's lifting, something's thin

Bridge

Maybe this was all we came for

This soft hour on a foreign floor

No clock left inside my chest

Just the light and nothing else

Chorus

Gold light, violet skyline

We were running till the night went blind

Now my pulse is matching gold

Never felt so old and still and free

Violet skyline, let it in

Something's lifting, something's thin
