Concrete Rebirth 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Neon bleeding through my hands like the first light of day

I walk where the streets run cold and grey

Concrete breathes with me in this endless night

Fading to gold as I lose control of time

Pavement whispers secrets that nobody else will own

City's on fire but I'm not alone in this flame

Every step burns off a little more of what they built

I don't need your map when the city tells my heart what's real

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it starting to lift now?

The concrete rising from its sleep

Something inside is breaking loose

And nothing left can hold this truth

I'm becoming everything I was told not to be

Starting over on a road that never existed yet for me

Chorus

We're reborn under city lights

Where the darkness turns into gold

Dust and steel and open eyes

Concrete pulse is taking back its own life

We're rising out of every dead end street

Burning off what was holding us down at our feet

Verse 2

Fading light reflects in puddles like a thousand tiny swords

Every shadow bends to hold the sound that I have been for years

I don't need your name when you can see it too

The way this city's pulse begins to beat in time with me and you

Sirens scream but we just laugh as if we're free from all these chains

We dance on a sidewalk like we own it, like we're the ones who bring the rain

I don't need your plan when I can feel the change inside

A city waking up to something that it never tried

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it starting to lift now?

The concrete rising from its sleep

Something inside is breaking loose

And nothing left can hold this truth

I'm becoming everything I was told not to be

Starting over on a road that never existed yet for me

Chorus

We're reborn under city lights

Where the darkness turns into gold

Dust and steel and open eyes

Concrete pulse is taking back its own life

We're rising out of every dead end street

Burning off what was holding us down at our feet

Bridge

I don't need a name for this wild, beating thing

It's already written in the way that we sing

No more walls to hold, no more doors to close

Just two feet on the ground and a city full of choice

Hold my hand through the smoke and let it take control

Watch as every brick turns into gold

Chorus

We're reborn under city lights

Where the darkness turns into gold

Dust and steel and open eyes

Concrete pulse is taking back its own life

We're rising out of every dead end street

Burning off what was holding us down at our feet
