Black Coat Mile

I took the long way home

Just me and the pavement

Your name in my throat

Like sand in a payment

You sold me a smile

With a blade in the fold

I read every sign

Now the whole thing is cold

Same corner, same block

But I move like a ghost

You wanted my trust

Then you fed it to smoke

I stared at the glass

Saw my face get hard

That hurt turns to fuel

When you live this scarred

Hands in my pockets

I shake off the weight

Every lie you told me

Turns into a blade

I feel it in my chest

But I don't sink low

I was built in the break

Now I'm letting go

I don't look back

I don't look back

You can keep that mask

I don't look back

I don't look back

I don't look back

Burned that bridge to ash

I don't look back

Walk past the old spot

Where the promises died

Fresh snow on the curb

And a fire in my eyes

You kept changing your story

I kept checking the signs

Now your whole little game

Don't live in my mind

I learned how to breathe

When the room went cold

How to stand in the dark

And still take control

No plea, no delay

I cut clean through the rope

What you thought was my end

Was the start of my hope

Hands in my pockets

I shake off the weight

Every lie you told me

Turns into a blade

I feel it in my chest

But I don't sink low

I was built in the break

Now I'm letting go

I don't look back

I don't look back

You can keep that mask

I don't look back

I don't look back

I don't look back

Burned that bridge to ash

I don't look back

Just bass and footsteps

Just breath and steel

All that you took from me

Taught me what's real

I was your target

Now I'm my own flame

You fade in the rear

I don't say your name

I don't look back

I don't look back

You can keep that mask

I don't look back

I don't look back

I don't look back

You can keep that mask

I don't look back

I don't look back

I don't look back

Burned that bridge to ash

I don't look back

I don't look back

I don't look back

I'm gone with the night

I don't look back
