Soul Against the Sky (Version 2)

Verse

Iron skyline humming through the chest

Money counting every passing breath

Every dollar is a name I've lost

Every light that turns is one more ghost

Concrete floor beneath my hands

Glass and steel against the sand

I was born to serve what I despise

Now the whole machine sees my eyes

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how much more can hold

The weight of what's being told

Turn it up until the static breaks

Before this body turns to smoke

Chorus

Soul against the skyline, every brick a debt I paid in gold

I let go with both hands open, watch the city learn my name

Soul against the skyline, never owned and never sold

Nothing left to lose is everything that's been told

Verse

Mirror glass reflecting what's already gone

Every window frame is someone else's throne

The boardroom laughs when I call it mine

I built a kingdom out of borrowed time

Hollow eyes behind a thousand screens

No one asks me if the cost still makes sense

I traded heaven for a high-rise seat

Now the whole street knows my feet don't meet

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how much more can hold

The weight of what's being told

Turn it up until the static breaks

Before this body turns to smoke

Chorus

Soul against the skyline, every brick a debt I paid in gold

I let go with both hands open, watch the city learn my name

Soul against the skyline, never owned and never sold

Nothing left to lose is everything that's been told

Bridge

Let it burn before it buys me back

Trade the view for something real at last

Every floor was built on someone else's blood

I'm not sorry — I'm just free from what's been good

Chorus

Soul against the skyline, every brick a debt I paid in gold

I let go with both hands open, watch the city learn my name

Soul against the skyline, never owned and never sold

Nothing left to lose is everything that's been told
