[Verse 1]

Black smoke rises from the bones of yesterday,Roads of rust whisper truths I won't betray.Barren fields cry for rain that never falls,In the silent dust, my reflection calls.

[Pre-Chorus]

Hear the wind's confession, secrets it can't hide,Cold breath of midnight, a ghost by my side.

[Chorus]

Smoke and rust, this life's got a hold on me,Iron skies watch as far as eyes can see.Desert moon bleeds shadows deep and vast,Out here, redemption slips right past.

[Verse 2]

Broken fences line roads that lead nowhere,Each rusty nail, a prayer whispered in despair.Doorways groan open, welcome me inside,Yet the darkness within holds demons untied.

[Pre-Chorus]

Feel the whispers burning, in my veins they seep,A promise made in silence, impossible to keep.

[Chorus]

Smoke and rust, this life's got a hold on me,Iron skies watch as far as eyes can see.Desert moon bleeds shadows deep and vast,Out here, redemption slips right past.

[Bridge]

Every scar a chapter, inked deep beneath my skin,Storms howl louder, hiding where I've been.Haunted trails and echoes, the nights grow colder yet,But I'll walk until the silence pays its debt.

[Final Chorus]

Smoke and rust, this life's got a hold on me,Iron skies watch as far as eyes can see.Desert moon bleeds shadows deep and vast,Out here, redemption slips right past.
