Cidade Fuma (Version 2)

Verse

City breathes heavy through the drainpipe seam

Concrete floor gone soft beneath my heel

Neon bleeds across the broken beam

Money talks to me like a rival in the wheel

Windows rattle till the glass gives way

This is where the old ones sleep tonight

Sirens hum low like they know my name

Nothing here worth holding, nothing here worth fighting for

Just the bass and smoke and this same four-block war

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the current climbing up your spine

We're not running from it, we're running blind

Every light a mile away gets smaller still

I'm chasing what was never mine to own

Chorus

Cidade fuma, cidade fuma

Where the money ends is where I'm going to fall

Cidade fuma, cidade fuma

Nothing left of me that isn't smoke and glass

Verse 2

Skid mark glowing like a signature in paint

Sirens fade to static on my dashboard light

Every building here has a story it won't tell

I'm just the echo that the walls are tired of holding still

Glass is cold against my knuckles now

The block is holding its breath like a whole city's vow

I don't know what I was running from, only this

That this is where the silence starts to hiss

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the current climbing up your spine

We're not running from it, we're running blind

Every light a mile away gets smaller still

I'm chasing what was never mine to own

Chorus

Cidade fuma, cidade fuma

Where the money ends is where I'm going to fall

Cidade fuma, cidade fuma

Nothing left of me that isn't smoke and glass

Bridge

Maybe it's not a name or a face

Just a current running under every place

We're not ghosts of what we used to be

We are the road before it settles back in on itself

Hold your breath until the light gives way

This is how you disappear from yourself

Chorus

Cidade fuma, cidade fuma

Where the money ends is where I'm going to fall

Cidade fuma, cidade fuma

Nothing left of me that isn't smoke and glass
