Shadows creeping, city lights bleeding
Concrete whispers, the blocks stay breathing
Midnight whispers, my thoughts uneven
Every step heavy,
the void I'm feeding Flicker from the street,
lamp a ghost in the
glare Hoodie like a shield,
cold cuts through the
air Heart thumping slower than the baseline bear
Every corner danger waits,
dare if you care Shadow grip,
tight like a vice
Cold world, hearts made of ice Lost souls,
gambled or diced
Shadow grip,
ain't nothing nice Alleyways echo,
the past days lurking
Memory sharp,
my chest still hurting Grime for the paper,
system ain't working
Clock can't spin,
but the time feels jerking Eyes like a predator,
scanning the block
Keys to survival, they ain't in no lock
Dream strips slow, syrup thick like the talk
Reality a leash, cannot run the clock
Shadow grip,
tight like a vice
Cold world,
hearts made of ice Lost souls,
gambled or diced
Shadow grip,
ain't nothing nice
