Static Sky Sprint (Version 2)

Verse

Parking lot lights flicker out like a signal fading

Your voicemail static, low volume, I'm not replaying

Laces double-knotted, breath a cloud in the cold

Six a.m. and I'm letting go of the version I was told

Track lines blurring where the frost hasn't lifted

Every step I take, the old me gets sifted

Phone screen cracked but the compass still spins

This is where the goodbye begins

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the silence turning

Static crackling, engines burning

Something closing, something rising

This ain't losing, this is sizing

Chorus

I'm cutting through the static sky, I sprint

Every gray cloud breaking where the light gets in

Goodbye to the ground I used to stand

Hello to the run I didn't plan

Static sky sprint, watch me disappear

Static sky sprint, running toward clear

Verse

Mile marker two and the fog starts thinning

Old address fading, new horizon beginning

Sneakers pounding out a rhythm like a heartbeat drum

Every breath I take says the reckoning's come

Static in my ears turns to wind in my hair

Half of me is grieving, half of me don't care

Sun cracks open like a door left ajar

I'm running farther than the goodbye can go far

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the silence turning

Static crackling, engines burning

Something closing, something rising

This ain't losing, this is sizing

Chorus

I'm cutting through the static sky, I sprint

Every gray cloud breaking where the light gets in

Goodbye to the ground I used to stand

Hello to the run I didn't plan

Static sky sprint, watch me disappear

Static sky sprint, running toward clear

Bridge

Maybe the goodbye was just the runway

Maybe the falling was just the fly-away

No static left, just open blue

Every finish line was leading me to you, to me, to true

Chorus

I'm cutting through the static sky, I sprint

Every gray cloud breaking where the light gets in

Goodbye to the ground I used to stand

Hello to the run I didn't plan

Static sky sprint, watch me disappear

Static sky sprint, running toward clear

Static sky sprint, I'm finally here
