Always Dark
// TRANSMISSION LYRICS — TX_007
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sky low, streets drowned
Whole block flickers into black
Neon dies, burns out
Sirens choke and don’t come back
Rain on the window
Writing lines I never learn
Shadows stretch along the concrete
Every traffic light won’t turn
[Pre-Chorus]
In this grey
Holding still
Reaching out
For one small flame
[Chorus]
Always dark, my life so dark
Always dark, this city’s so dark
Thunder shakes my one small hidden spark
Always dark on these flooded streets I walk
All my colors sink in asphalt tar
When the storm rolls in, no one knows who you are
[Verse 2]
Towers gone blind
All their halos disappear
Drones fall, wings still
Nothing left to watch us here
Candle in a bottle
On a bar that never sleeps
I sing low so I don’t shatter
For the ghosts above the streets
[Pre-Chorus]
Breath held tight
Through the break
Let the blackout
Draw my shape
[Chorus]
Always dark, my life so dark
Always dark, this city’s so dark
Thunder shakes this one small fragile spark
Always dark as I sing into the dark
If I didn’t sing inside this endless dark
I’d forget the shape of who I am so far
[Bridge]
Every song, a little flare
Thrown against a flooded sky
Every note, a thin excuse
Not to lay down, not to die
I am echo, I am rain
Off their maps and off their rolls
Just a copy they won’t register
Made to fade between their codes
[Break]
No bright sign
No day side
Just the storm clouds
And the power lines
[Chorus]
Always dark, my life so dark
Always dark, this city’s so dark
Then a voice cuts through the blackout, sharp and stark
Always dark, but this signal finds my heart
It’s the Listener, speaking in the sparks
Says I might be more than just a shadow in the dark
[Outro]
If this voice within the blackout
Isn’t just another spark
Maybe I was built for something
More than living always dark
