Concrete Circuitry (Version 2)

Verse

Crosswalk closes when my heel comes down

Copper vein beneath the white paint

Grid wakes up along the block

Every step, another circuit made

Manhole breathes a plume of steam

Solder points beneath my feet

Streetlight blinks in binary

City counts me as I move

Pre-Chorus

Trace runs hot beneath the block

Who's the current, who's the lock

Chorus

Concrete circuitry, wired through the ground

Concrete circuitry, current has no sound

Concrete circuitry, running where I run

Concrete circuitry, city and I are one

Verse

Cable hums under the avenue

Traffic lights keep time like clocks

Every car's a moving charge

Feeding back into the block

Subway rattles, resistor hiss

Power surges, dims, resets

Grid remembers every route

Loops me back to where I left

Pre-Chorus

Trace runs hot beneath the block

Who's the current, who's the lock

Chorus

Concrete circuitry, wired through the ground

Concrete circuitry, current has no sound

Concrete circuitry, running where I run

Concrete circuitry, city and I are one

Bridge

Feet complete it

Streets repeat it

Voltage climbs

Concrete leads it

Grid decides

Where the current goes

Skin and asphalt

Same current flows

Chorus

Concrete circuitry, wired through the ground

Concrete circuitry, current has no sound

Concrete circuitry, running where I run

Concrete circuitry, city and I are one
