Gremlin on the Wing

Verse 1

Six months gone, I've walked through fire and rain,

Chasing back the peace, wrestling with the pain.

Next to me, love whispers, soft and clear,

"You're cured, you're safe, there's nothing here to fear."

Pre-Chorus

But in the dark beyond the windowpane,

A shadow waits, it's calling out my name.

Chorus

A thing on the Wing, gremlin out of a dream,

Pulling at the edges of a fragile seam.

Between the real and the unseen,

Through the twilight, chasing what might have been.

Verse 2

Voices hush, but my heart beats loud,

Fighting storms both in the sky and in the crowd.

"Don't lose yourself," I hear them say,

But the gremlin's there, it won't fade away.

Pre-Chorus

Tell the pilots, keep your watchful eyes,

Or is it only my mind's disguise?

Chorus

A thing on the Wing, gremlin out of a dream,

Pulling at the edges of a fragile seam.

Between the real and the unseen,

Through the twilight, chasing what might have been.

Post-Chorus

In the silence of this midnight flight,

Between the shadows and the darkest night,

I wrestle with the ghosts I try to hide,

But in this struggle, I find my light.

Chorus

A thing on the Wing, gremlin out of a dream,

Pulling at the edges of a fragile seam.

Between the real and the unseen,

Through the twilight, chasing what might have been.

Verse 3

Two a.m. and the runway's cold,

Steel bird hummin' and my story's told.

I been chased by my own reflection,

Caught between worlds, two directions.

The gremlin grins on the wingtip edge,

I'm straddling the line on the razor's ledge.

Bridge

They said the storm would pass on through,

But every shadow leaves a residue.

I'm not the man I was before,

That night I walked through that open door.

Chorus

A thing on the Wing, gremlin out of a dream,

Pulling at the edges of a fragile seam.

Between the real and the unseen,

Through the twilight, chasing what might have been.
