Saltstone Veins

[Verse 1]
Streetlights bleed on wet asphalt, same old ghost town hum.
Every cracked curb tells a story, where my own hopes go numb.
Heavy air hangs low, a fog from forgotten docks.
Each cold breath a petrified grief, locked inside these urban blocks.

[Chorus]
Saltstone veins run deep, heavy in my chest.
Another quiet night, put my spirit to the test.
Yeah, my spirit to the test.

[Verse 2]
Ancestor's whispers still echo, in the steel and concrete walls.
A granite burden carried, before the silent, destined falls.
They built their towers high, on ground they thought was fixed.
But bedrock cracks beneath, where truth and burden intermix.

[Chorus]
Saltstone veins run deep, heavy in my chest.
Another quiet night, put my spirit to the test.
Yeah, my spirit to the test.

[Bridge]
They carved their names in solid rock, thought it'd never yield.
But even stone gives way, to what the fissures have revealed.
A defiant whisper in the dark, a truth that won't retreat.

[Outro]
Just a shard of what was whole, still cutting through the haze.
Waiting for the sun to crack, these long, silent days.
