MUSIC FOR SALE

[Verse 1]
Ice forming on the curb
Breathing out heavy mist
Staring at the shadow
That the streetlamp missed
Lobby lights flickering
Static on the payphone
Out here you’re a target
If you walk the maze alone

Old scars on the asphalt
Nails in the plywood
Everybody’s looking for a way
To make the night good
Sirens in the distance
But we don't blink twice
We just adjust the jacket
And pay the block price

[Pre-Chorus]
One eye on the corner
One eye on the sky
Nobody asks questions
When the wind runs high
Keep the keys in your fist
Keep your head in the zone
The pavement remembers
Every secret you own

[Chorus]
The iron is heavy but it never folds
We survive the stories that the winter told
Watch the horizon, keep the boots on the track
Step into the dark and we ain't looking back

[Verse 2]
My cousin got a warning
From a face he didn't know
Said the winter gets longer
When you move too slow
Corner market crowded
But the silence is loud
Just the hum of the fridge
And the weight of the cloud

Steam leaking from the pipe
Like a ghost in the hall
We just lean our shoulders
Right against the brick wall
Trading heavy glances
Over coins in the hand
Out here you don't argue
With the rules of the land

[Pre-Chorus]
One eye on the corner
One eye on the sky
Nobody asks questions
When the wind runs high
Keep the keys in your fist
Keep your head in the zone
The pavement remembers
Every secret you own

[Chorus]
The iron is heavy but it never folds
We survive the stories that the winter told
Watch the horizon, keep the boots on the track
Step into the dark and we ain't looking back

[Bridge]
If I drop a word, let it fall in the drain
Yeah, let the rain wash away all the stains
We don't build monuments out of this grit
We just survive every second of it

[Chorus]
The iron is heavy but it never folds
We survive the stories that the winter told
Watch the horizon, keep the boots on the track
Step into the dark and we ain't looking back

[Outro]
Just a shadow
No marks left
Stay low
