Familiar silence that never goes unchecked (النسخة 2)

Intro

Static in my chest, a hum I've learned to neglect

Familiar silence that never goes unchecked

Verse 1

Years of numbness, seasons lost in haze

I forgot the taste of salt on a summer's daze

Survival mode was all I knew, no room for air

But now I'm crawling out, like a cicada from its lair

Concrete beneath my feet, a map of what I've been through

Pavement cracks and stains, a topography of my truth

Forgotten buildings loom, relics of a life left behind

I walk among the ghosts, searching for a sign

Hook

We watched the stars, we were the kings of night

Verse 2

I remember when the city breathed like I did

Rhythms in its steel heart, syncopated and slick

Now it's just a hum, a constant static in my brain

But sometimes in the quiet, I catch a ghostly refrain

In abandoned lots, where wildflowers grow

I see the beauty left behind, as petals start to show

It's like the city's telling me, "You're not done yet"

A whispered promise that the numbness won't be my forever debt

Hook

We watched the stars, we were the kings of night

Bridge

In the haze, I'm searching for a light to guide

A compass in the dark, where north and south collide

Maybe it's just the stars, or maybe it's inside

A spark that refuses to be extinguished, a fire that won't subside

Outro

And when the fog clears, and the city's alive again

I'll find my place among the stars, and the kings of night will reign.
