Promised Gains

Not financial advice...just havin' a good time! [Intro] We spent years chasing signals through the static… Thinking salvation was just one candle away… [Verse 1] Empty highways soaked in dawn Billboards fading one by one “To The Moon” still barely shines Above the ruins left behind Old screenshots inside my phone Like artifacts from worlds long gone Every chart and every thread Still echo things we never said We thought the future had a name Some promised place beyond the flames But somewhere on these broken roads The meaning slowly changed [Pre-Chorus] Cause after all the noise and fire After every failed messiah We still carried something forward Through the dark [Chorus] Promised gains Somewhere beyond the storm We were chasing more than money When we swore we’d hold the line Promised gains Calling through the static rain And even if the dream collapsed We were never quite the same [Verse 2] Neon motel vacancy signs Blink beside forgotten lives Traders scattered coast to coast Still haunted by the things they hoped Every movement leaves a scar Every believer carries one Maybe faith survives because It changes who you become I still remember midnight runs Watching green candles touch the sun For one impossible moment We thought we’d outrun everyone [Pre-Chorus] And maybe heaven never came Maybe nobody really won But somewhere in the aftermath We found each other in the dark [Chorus] Promised gains Shining through abandoned skies Like a memory we still follow Even after all this time Promised gains Somewhere deep beneath the pain We were searching for a reason To believe again [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Maybe we were never meant to reach it Maybe the road itself became the myth Cause every sleepless night Every ruined chart Every stranger screaming through the static Built something bigger than the market ever was [Final Chorus] Promised gains Still glowing through the storm Like the ghost of something beautiful We still carry in our hearts Promised gains And the sunrise finally breaks Across the wreckage of a world We thought we’d someday save Promised gains… [Outro] And somewhere… Beneath the fading neon… The old screens still glow…
