Gods in Concrete Suits (version 2)

Verse

I used to pray in empty rooms

Concrete prayers, no answer, just the hum of the street

I traded holy water for a hundred dollars on the floor

Now I talk to the city like it's something I adore

Every skyscraper's a cathedral built from steel and glass

I'm the priest who collects the tolls, not absolve, just pass

The neon sky won't heal me, but it keeps me warm at night

I trade my dignity for traffic lights that turn right

Pre-Chorus

Is this still devotion or just a habit now?

Every corner's a shrine I can't tear down

Chorus

Gods in concrete suits, watching the sunrise bleed

I'm still praying but it looks different on my knees

Hands up to the city like it's the only altar left

Every tower is a temple nobody vetted

Hey-oh! Hey-oh! Concrete gods, hear me now

Verse

Taxi lights bleed color across the street

Strangers passing as if we're kneeling together in one long seat

I used to ask for forgiveness, now I just ask for time

Every bill I don't pay is an offering, never mine

The skyscrapers change their faces faster than the seasons do

I memorize each skyline like it's holy scripture too

Not the words but the architecture of the town

That's where my faith lives — in every building still standing around

Pre-Chorus

Is this still devotion or just a habit now?

Every corner's a shrine I can't tear down

Chorus

Gods in concrete suits, watching the sunrise bleed

I'm still praying but it looks different on my knees

Hands up to the city like it's the only altar left

Every tower is a temple nobody vetted

Hey-oh! Hey-oh! Concrete gods, hear me now

Bridge

Maybe that's enough

Maybe being seen in traffic lights is still a form of prayer

Not answered back but answered somehow

Every car that passes is a heartbeat I can hold on to

Chorus

Gods in concrete suits, watching the sunrise bleed

I'm still praying but it looks different on my knees

Hands up to the city like it's the only altar left

Every tower is a temple nobody vetted

Hey-oh! Hey-oh! Concrete gods, hear me now

Outro

Still kneeling in traffic lights

Still praying to the skyline

This is my faith now
