Steel Above The Storm

[Intro] [low vocal register Almost spoken] Cold runway Engines hum Knuckles tight Eyes up [Verse 1] Up before the sun can find me Coffee burns But I don’t slow down Blueprints spread across the counter Every failure folded Filed Then crowned Steel nerves Heart like a turbine I chase What they said was a straight line [Pre-Chorus] Sky keeps daring me higher Every setback’s fuel for the fire [Chorus] I was born to run the skyline Cutting through the headwind Through the doubt Every “you can’t” just becomes my lifeline Hear that engine in my chest shout loud I don’t come down I don’t come down Ambition’s how I leave the ground [Verse 2] Friends stayed safe on level pavement Told me “Maybe dream a little less” But I drew ladders in the margins Turned each “maybe” to a test Clouds break Right where I’m heading New stakes Every limit I’m shedding [Pre-Chorus] Fear keeps begging me “land it” But I was built to outrun the planet [Chorus] [Bridge] [halftime groove Darker synths] Bite down White-knuckle in the crosswind Alarms scream All the gauges in red If the sky wants a toll Let it take my doubt Leave the rest of me ahead [build back to full tempo] Then flip that switch in my veins Turn free fall into flame [Chorus]
