Old Grey

Verse 1
I close my eyes, to see your face
Living on the memories of a life gone by
The bitter torture of a soul denied

Verse 2
I call your name, you’re still not here
Shouting in the darkness, only I can hear
The distance grows, but still I feel you near

Chorus 1
Atonement—burning in my veins, I drink the fire
but still the bones of shame are choking my desire. 
Atonement—shadows carved in stone, the echoes roar. 
you’ve taken everything I am, Still you 
want more

Verse 3
Broken glass, beneath my skin
Deep cuts reminds me, nowhere left to hide…

SOLO

Chorus 2
Atonement—burning in my veins, I drink the fire
but still the bones of shame are choking my desire. 
Atonement—shadows carved in stone, the echoes roar. 
you’ve taken everything I am, Still you want more

Chorus 3
Atonement—tearing me apart
I bleed to feel, you carved your name into my heart, Now I won’t heal
Atonement—shadows carved in stone, the echoes roar. 
you’ve taken everything I am, forever more

I call your name

lyrics
im putting on a show
where i sing all on my own 
it’s crowded in this town
that’s how it is when ur in the background 
i like being a nobody
tossed aside like a free throw 
i sleep spooning my pillow 
remember u in my dreams

let’s take it from the top 
playing the first set 
you were under my skin
taking chances, taking bets 
i see ur hooked in 
i am repeating history 
i am playing games like pretend 
that’s the only thing i'm good at 
that brought us closer
while it tore us apart 

i'm putting on a show
where i sing all on my own 
that’s how it is when you’re in the background 

sometimes i wish i had a time machine 
so i could be sure
i want to know a couple things 
but i don’t know the way to put it 
i slipped out ur hands 
planning is not my strong suit 
now i don’t have a time 
where I’m expected to come back

[Verse]
The sand remembers every step I take
Soft whispers of the tide
They ache
A fleeting mark
A shallow groove
Was I here
Did I move

[Chorus]
Every footprint leaves a scar too soon
Fading under the pale-faced moon
I try to run
I try to stay
But every trace gets washed away

[Verse 2]
Shadows stretch where the daylight bends
Chasing ghosts where the shoreline ends
The waves are thieves
They take it all
A memory carved just to fall

[Prechorus]
And I wonder
Who will know
What I left in undertow

[Chorus]
Every footprint leaves a scar too soon
Fading under the pale-faced moon
I try to run
I try to stay
But every trace gets washed away

[Bridge]
If the ocean’s a mirror
What does it see
A restless heart or a storm in me
I shout at the wind but it won’t reply
Just a fleeting echo
A goodbye

You've Always Been Here
