Asphalt Hymn

[Verse 1]
Rain streaks the glass, a silver web unfurled,
Trapping the silence, and the weight of the world.
The radio sparks, a ghost in the static, low,
A tremor of what I’d buried, starts to grow.

[Chorus]
Windows up, I scream the song, a tectonic roar,
Shaking the bedrock, wanting something more.

[Verse 2]
Past the abandoned docks, and the timber's grey decay,
My own voice shatters the doubt that held its sway.
Every chord a fissure, opening up the ground,
No longer an outsider, lost but finally found.

[Chorus]
Windows up, I scream the song, a tectonic roar,
Shaking the bedrock, wanting something more.

[Bridge]
The grit in my throat, where the sound begins to break,
An erosion of old sorrow, for freedom's sake.
This four-wheeled canyon, a vault of pure release,
A shifting stratum, finally finding peace.

[Chorus]
Windows up, I scream the song, a tectonic roar,
Shaking the bedrock, wanting something more.

[Outro]
Just the low hum of the road, and the fading sound,
On this restless horizon, finally unbound.
