Cigarette Burn Sky
TitanChord
Pulled over once just to stretch my back
Didn’t get out, just stared at black
Sky looked worn, like it’s been through hell
Same kinda look I know too well
Ash fell slow on my worn-out jeans
Wind took half, like it always seems
There’s a mile marker I don’t read
Don’t need numbers to know I’m leavin’
Night don’t rush, it just sits with you
Lets you think what you try not to
Cigarette burn sky, holes in the dark
Little bit of light, but it don’t go far
I keep drivin’ under what I’ve done
Tryin’ to outrun what I can’t outrun
Cigarette burn sky, quiet and wide
Ain’t no place left for me to hide
Every mile just pulls it through
Everything I said… and didn’t to you
Gas station glow in the middle of nowhere
Bug lights buzzin’, nobody there
Filled it up, didn’t check the change
Didn’t feel like talkin’ anyway
Heard a train cut through the night
Low and long, out of sight
Sounded like somethin’ breakin’ loose
Or maybe just somethin’ I can’t use
Smoke don’t last, it fades away
Wish it worked like that for mistakes
Cigarette burn sky, holes in the dark
Little bit of light, but it don’t go far
I keep drivin’ under what I’ve done
Tryin’ to outrun what I can’t outrun
Cigarette burn sky, quiet and wide
Ain’t no place left for me to hide
Every mile just pulls it through
Everything I said… and didn’t to you
I keep thinkin’ I’ll feel better a few miles up
Like there’s some line I’ll cross and it just… stops
But it don’t
It just gets quieter
And somehow louder at the same time
Cigarette burn sky, watch it fade
Same old road, different mistakes
I ain’t lost, I just don’t stay
Anywhere long enough to change
Cigarette burn sky, burnin’ through
Everything I tried not to lose
If there’s peace, it ain’t out here
But I keep lookin’ anyway
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Pulled over once just to stretch my back Didn’t get out, just stared at black Sky looked worn, like it’s been through hell Same kinda look I know too well
Ash fell slow on my worn-out jeans Wind took half, like it always seems There’s a mile marker I don’t read Don’t need numbers to know I’m leavin’
Night don’t rush, it just sits with you Lets you think what you try not to
Cigarette burn sky, holes in the dark Little bit of light, but it don’t go far I keep drivin’ under what I’ve done Tryin’ to outrun what I can’t outrun
Cigarette burn sky, quiet and wide Ain’t no place left for me to hide Every mile just pulls it through Everything I said… and didn’t to you
Gas station glow in the middle of nowhere Bug lights buzzin’, nobody there Filled it up, didn’t check the change Didn’t feel like talkin’ anyway
