Concrete Sky

[Chorus] The numbers climb, but I'm standing still My future's on the line, against my will The clock keeps ticking, time slips by Beneath this endless, concrete sky [Verse] Headlights burn on the 405 Barely moving, I can't survive Clock on the dash says 7:47 Another day, no sign of heaven Wheel in my hands, damp and tight Low fuel blinks, stealing my light [Pre-Chorus] A muffled ring, then silence falls Voicemail plays through concrete walls Home equity line, a gentle plea Just more pressure weighing on me Stale coffee mixes with my fear Another morning, always here [Chorus] The numbers climb, but I'm standing still My future's on the line, against my will The clock keeps ticking, time slips by Beneath this endless, concrete sky [Verse] Cracked glass shows a sky so gray Another lost and endless day This metal box, my daily cage Turning a life's unwritten page Dreams I once held, now they fade A silent promise, never made [Pre-Chorus] The same old route, the same old view Is there nothing I can do? Each mile a burden, heavy and deep Secrets that my soul must keep Just a drone in this endless line Wishing for a different sign [Chorus] The numbers climb, but I'm standing still My future's on the line, against my will The clock keeps ticking, time slips by Beneath this endless, concrete sky [Bridge] They say there's more to this life, they swear Beyond the exhaust, beyond the despair But every sunrise, same old grind Leaving my true self far behind Just a cog in a giant machine Lost in a never-ending scene [Chorus] The numbers climb, but I'm standing still My future's on the line, against my will The clock keeps ticking, time slips by Beneath this endless, concrete sky [Outro]
