Streetlights Weep Silver (version 2)

Verse

Backstreets lit by sodium haze

Pavement cold beneath my sleeves

I was built from nothing but the gray that glows

Chain-link fences holding in the smoke

Sixteen winters and I don't stop

Every window cracked, a heartbeat's code

Pre-Chorus

Something in me won't let it drop

Rising through the iron and the frost

Chorus

Streetlights weep silver on my skin

This is where the fire gets in

Verse

Sirens distant through the alley walls

Bassline rattling every bus stop's call

I was dust before the spark hit me

Now I'm breathing smoke like static breath

Hands up catching amber, hands up catching gold

Something ancient running through my blood and cold

Every scar is proof that I don't fold

Pre-Chorus

Something in me won't let it drop

Rising through the iron and the frost

Chorus

Streetlights weep silver on my skin

This is where the fire gets in

Bridge

The city breathes and spits me back out whole

Every block a Bible, every heartbeat's code

Not running from the dark — I own it, I'm its soul

Chorus

Streetlights weep silver on my skin

This is where the fire gets in
