Grey Skies Still Shine by Mr Skillz aka Echo+

"This isn’t shade — it’s signal. Not noise, not ego, just archive. Echo+ taps in with one more playback from the road back to self."
Concrete cracks, memories seep
Past life playing in loops, no sleep
Low lights flicker on these thoughts I keep
Quiet truths in the pockets I never dig deep
Sidewalk stories, unspoken signs
Radio hums, reading faded lines
Not chasing gold, just peace in kind
Even shadows leave when you realign
Grey skies still shine,
When the beat hits right
I don’t rewind
I just move through night
No need for loud
When the soul’s this bright
Grey skies still shine,
I’m walking in light
Old shoes, worn soles, still glide
Pain makes rhythm when you stop the pride
Dust in the breeze, calm in the ride
Headphones on, just me and the stride
No perfect moment, just now to breathe
No map to follow, just truth to believe
Let the drums talk, let the bass relieve
All the weight I wore on every sleeve
Grey skies still shine,
When the beat hits right
I don’t rewind
I just move through night
No need for loud
When the soul’s this bright
Grey skies still shine,
I’m walking in light
Morning breathes on the window pane
Ashes of stars, washed out by rain
The quiet stays, but I’m not still
Each step forward bends to will
Breath like fog
It fades
It fades
Heart’s a drum that plays
It plays
I’m dimmed but burning
Not gone
A spark still walks the edge of dawn
No need to rewind
No need to hide
Just following truth where shadows lied
Flicker fades...
But I ignite.
