Shadowstep Drill

(ahhhh) Cold rain on the coat,

I was raised by the curb Eyes low,

jaw set, let the whole lane swerve

Boots on the stair,

hear the old floor creak Talk stays cheap till the road gets

deep

I came from the late bus,

last train gone Still kept fire in the chest,

stayed on

If they want smoke,

let the night speak first

I don't say much,

but the pressure works Slide through the grey with the weight on

me Heads turn round when they hear that heat Feet stay firm,

I don't miss one beat Came from the

mud, now the whole block sees Slide through the grey with the

weight on me Too much dirt,

but it made my peace

Backstreet map in my head like scars Blue lights pass,

still we look like stars No handouts came,

had to build that nerve Late night cold,

had to earn each word Friends got lost in the spin of

the week I keep truth in the bars I speak Heart too

hard for a fake new grin Came this far,

I ain't folding in Hold that line,

don't bend, don't break All that weight made the ground line shake

If I go quiet,

know I'm still awake Still ten toes for the path I take

Slide through the grey with the weight on me Heads turn round

when they hear that heat Feet stay firm,

I don't miss one beat

Came from the mud,

now the whole block sees Slide through the grey with the weight

on me Too much dirt,

but it made my peace (yeah) (ah!) Rain on the glass and

the road runs deep Still move calm,

still don't lose my feet
