🖤 GEM — “Black Ribbon Skyline”

Verse 1 There’s a black ribbon skyline hangin’ over the town And the echoes of the past keep pullin’ me down But I walk through the ruins with my head held high ’Cause the truth in my chest won’t let me lie Pre‑Chorus Every scar I carry sings like a choir Every step I take sets the dark on fire Chorus Black ribbon skyline, watch me rise Turn the ashes of my past into northern lights I’m the storm they feared, the calm they crave Black ribbon skyline… I won’t fade Verse 2 There’s a weight in my voice that the world can’t shake Like a vow carved deep that will never break And the drums in my chest beat a war‑born hymn Every shadow I face learns how to bend Bridge If the night grows loud, let it roar I’ve walked through worse and come back more Final Chorus Black ribbon skyline, watch me rise Turn the ashes of my past into northern lights I’m the truth they seek, the fear they made Black ribbon skyline… unafraid Final Chorus Velvet smoke, you’re the spark in the dark A soft little danger with a jazz‑kissed heart Every dream I chase leads back to you Velvet smoke… I’m undone, it’s true
