Writing my name

Verse 1

Concrete

Iron sky

Heavy hangs the crown of a king

Towers taller than the truth

Empty glass

Broken brass

Crumbling curb where the kids play

Searching for a better way

Maybe I see the hunger

Maybe I see the ghost

Hunger in the gut

Stain on the shirt

Dust on the window

Pain on the porch

Gold chains cold against the chest

Breathe deep

Rest

Chorus

Legacy lives in the ink on the page

Legacy lives in the heat of the rage

Writing my name on the side of a train

Writing my name to forget all the pain

Writing my name

Writing my name

Verse 2

Paper thin

Plastic grins

Millionaires making deals while the block bleeds

Watering the garden but they only planting weeds

Dirty hands

Shifting sands

I came

I saw

I stayed

Promises decayed like a dead tooth

Truth

Sharper than a blade in the dark

Sharp

Short

Spark

Keep the fire burning through the winter

Watching every splinter

Watching every move

Heavy hearts

Heavy heads

Heavy dreams

Chorus

Legacy lives in the ink on the page

Legacy lives in the heat of the rage

Writing my name on the side of a train

Writing my name to forget all the pain

Writing my name

Writing my name

Bridge

Underneath the bridge where the shadows grow tall

Underneath the bridge where the heroes fall

I remember

You remember

We remember

The cycle spins

The silence wins

Verse 3

Poetry

Power

Staring at the clock for an hour

Counting every minute till the money comes

Sticks and drums

Old souls

Lost goals

Never let the system take your spirit

If you hear it

Speak it

Seeking out the wisdom in the wreckage

Reading every message

Message in the bottle

Foot on the throttle

Go

Chorus

Legacy lives in the ink on the page

Legacy lives in the heat of the rage

Writing my name on the side of a train

Writing my name to forget all the pain

Writing my name

Writing my name

Outro

Final breath

Final word

Flying like a bird over the fence

Makes sense

No more

Just the floor

Gone
