Lyrics
Rain hits slate on the council flats
Night whispers truth where the skyline cracks
Smoke from the steelworks clouded the sky
No angels here, just ghosts that lie
Council estate, born with a heart like ash
Where kids learn crack before they learn cash
Old men yapping, they sleep and yawn
Everybody's nan is addicted to porn
I grew where the furnaces burnt like sin
Steel in my blood, ink on my skin
No gold, roads, just cracked cement
Where the past still lives and the time's misspent
Shadows of the works loom over my path
You never know when you're gonna get your head smashed
I ain't scared of the dark, I've slept in it
Every verse I spit got pollution in it
I better get that checked
Mountains watch like they're keeping score
While the town just drinks to forget the war
Ain't no saviours in a council flat
Just quiet minds with a lot of stomach fat
Shadows don't lie on the docks at night
This town breathes under an orange light
Pray to the gods that forgot this place
In a world that hides from a friendly face
Clock don't tick, just hammers and grind
Soul get lost by the valleys lie
I ain't numb just forged in smoke
Stand tall, even though the dream went broke
See the coastline bleed into skies so grey
Like every promise that washed away
I walk the pier where the silence stays
And the ghosts of the past still know my name
Kids push weight while the jobs fall flat
Cause the factory fed them but they don't look back
Cracked phone screens and a half-lit room
Where the cold don't knock, it just walks in so soon
Estate's got tails in bricks and walls
Blood on the curb where the brave men fall
Pint and a fight, it's a Friday cure
Same old pain, just less demure
Rain hit hard like the debt they owe
But we smile in the dark cause we just don't know
No mask, no cap, just steel-toed soul
And a pen that bleeds no matter what the system stole
Shadows don't lie on the docks at night
This town breathes under an orange light
Pray to the gods that forgot this place
In a world that hides from a friendly face
And if I die here, let the steelworks hum
Let them carve my name where the silence come
I was born in this town, I walk with pride
Through the ash through the dark and the truth they hide
I, I'll probably die here
I'll probably die here
That's, that's very sad
Would you die with me?
Would anyone die with me?
Or will I be
Lost
