Beat takes control, I let go (version 2)

Intro

Engine hums, city screams

Fog rolls in like a dirty dream

Verse 1: 16 bars

Neon veins pulse through the night

My heartbeat's tied to the bassline's tight grip

Sweat slick on my skin, asphalt smell

Red lights flash like fireflies in hell

I'm chasing the rush, it's all I know

Highway rhythms make my blood flow

Fuel for the machine, my body's on fire

Concrete jungle's where I come to retire

From the world outside, where shadows play

My mind's a maze of city sounds at bay

Tires screech like guitars in my head

I'm driving through the night, my spirit is fed

The beat's a siren call, can't resist its lure

Fuel for my soul, I'm chasing more and more

Through the dark streets, I lose myself and find

A rhythm that speaks, it's one of a kind

Hook

Beat takes control, I let go

Verse 2: 16 bars

Streetlights dance like skeletons in the night

Rhythms weave a spell, my body's on flight

Headphones block out everything but the sound

I'm lost in the music, it's spinning me around

Drums pound like heartbeats, bass vibrates my skin

Electric pulses fuel my engine within

A highway of sound takes me far away from pain

Rhythms lift me up, where I am free to reign

My footsteps merge with traffic noise and time

In this urban chaos, I find a rhyme

Pulse beats like the city's frantic heart

Through it all, I'm moving, never apart

Fuel for my soul, the beat keeps on going strong

Through the night, I'll follow where it leads me long

Hook

Beat takes control, I let go

Verse 3: 16 bars/Bridge

Clock hands spin like roulette wheels in my mind

Time dissolves into rhythm, I leave the past behind

Rhythms weave a spell that holds me tight

In this city of endless motion, I'm always on flight

The beat's my refuge from life's noise and pain

Where time stands still, I find solace in its refrain

Outro

City fades like fog at dawn's break

I'm left with echoes of the rhythm's ache.
