[Verse 1] I woke up in the dark With the sheets pulled tight My chest full of stones And a mouth full of night I fed the same old ache Like it had my name Just sitting in the chair Watching me get tame [Pre-Chorus] But I heard that knock On the inside door A thin little spark I could ignore [Chorus] I break the gray I break the gray I stand back up I say my name I break the gray I break the gray One hard breath And I feel it change [Verse 2] Took the long way home Past the fence and the lot Past the busted sign And the rusted knot I let the cold air bite Let it ring in my face Every step said more Than the weight I had to carry [Pre-Chorus] And the day kept on Even slow, even mean I found one clean line Running through the scene [Chorus] I break the gray I break the gray I stand back up I say my name I break the gray I break the gray One hard breath And I feel it change [Bridge] I know that room I know that trap The hand on the latch The slide right back But I got a scar That still knows light And I got a heart That will fight tonight [Chorus] I break the gray I break the gray I stand back up I say my name I break the gray I break the gray One hard breath And I feel it change [Outro] Not gone Not cured Just here Just sure I break the gray I break the gray
