Past the Skyline

Verse

Six streetlights out on Barrow Lane

Engine coughing, cold exhaust like breath in rain

My jacket's torn, my boots don't match

Got forty bucks and a busted amp in back

They said this town keeps score and I'm the loss

But I've been counting scars, not what they cost

Chorus

We're going past the skyline, past the odds they stacked

Past the doors they locked and the highway we'll never track back

Let the sirens fade to a rumor in the dark

We're going past the skyline, running on a broken heart

Verse

Landlord's fist against the door at three

Says the rent's the only truth he'll ever see

I got a busted string and a borrowed mic

A cracked cassette of every reason not to try

But the bassline in my chest won't let me fold

I'm cheap, I'm loud, I'm nowhere near done, told

Chorus

We're going past the skyline, past the odds they stacked

Past the doors they locked and the highway we'll never track back

Let the sirens fade to a rumor in the dark

We're going past the skyline, running on a broken heart

Bridge

Maybe we don't make it out in one piece

Maybe the tank runs dry before the exit's reached

But I'd rather burn out chasing neon than stand still

Watching all my maybes freeze against the windowsill

Every scar's a mile marker, every bruise a mile gained

We didn't come this far to disappear in the rain

Chorus

We're going past the skyline, past the odds they stacked

Past the doors they locked and the highway we'll never track back

Let the sirens fade to a rumor in the dark

We're going past the skyline, past the skyline

We're going past the skyline, running on a broken heart

Outro

Six streetlights fading in the mirror now

We're already gone, we're already out

Past the skyline
