Gravel in My Throat

Verse 1

Streetlight hums above the tar

Five a.m. and nothing here feels close

I've been chasing a horizon made of stars

Found my voice in rooms nobody knows

Pre-Chorus

So I hold the note

Let it crack and bend

Every doubt I owned

Turns to where I've been

Chorus

Stand in the light and let them hear it

Throw my whole soul on the line

Every scar I carry close

Becomes the chorus that defines

Oh the echo knows my name now

Sing it loud until it's mine

Verse 2

The boardwalk gravel scratching boots

Old habits call but I don't answer back

I was born with gravel in my throat and roots

Strung together on a crooked track

Pre-Chorus

So I hold the note

Let it shake and swell

Everything I wrote

Rings the old church bell

Chorus

Stand in the light and let them hear it

Throw my whole soul on the line

Every scar I carry close

Becomes the chorus that defines

Oh the echo knows my name now

Sing it loud until it's mine

Bridge

Let the night stretch warm and wide

Worn-out lungs but steady stride

Harmony coming up in waves

Every voice found its own cave

Chorus

Stand in the light and let them hear it

Throw my whole soul on the line

Every scar I carry close

Becomes the chorus that defines

Oh the echo knows my name now

Sing it loud until it's mine

Outro

Sing it loud

Sing it loud

Till it's mine
