Brick Dust Sky — dbuck

Verse 1

Smoke rolls in from the factory line
Cold wind cuts through the powerline
Streetlight flickers, truth goes blind
I'm just a ghost in overtime

Verse 2

Ash on the rail, rust in my bones
Clock spins slow on a dial of stone
The weight don’t lift, it just sinks in
A scream caught deep beneath my skin

Chorus

Brick dust sky, cover me
Stone and steel, set me free
I don’t sleep, I just obey
Waiting for the dark to take me away

Verse 3

Crows on the wire sing in code
Another day in a silent chokehold
The church bells ring but no one hears
Just echoes swallowed by the years

Outro

So bury me under the grey
Let the smoke show me the way
If I fade, don’t ask why—
Just blame it on the brick dust sky
