Soul on Rent (version 2)

Verse

Concrete towers spit their gold

I'm chasing shadows that fold

City lights my name in steam

Rent the body, don't keep it clean

Corner store, a stranger's stare

Empty wallet on an empty chair

Every step I own is debt

Soul on rent, the devil's kept

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how much is my worth

Tell me what this floor will birth

The numbers rise and so do I

Nothing left to ask why

Chorus

I'm a soul on rent, living fast

Every step comes at an asking cost

Sell the hour for a brighter sky

Soul on rent, that's how it goes

Verse

Bassline calling through my teeth

Skin alive like I still breathe

Numbers rise where my name stays

Nothing left but pay the day

Streetlight counting every stride

Every floor got its own divide

I was told to buy the floor above

Not the sky, just what can be owned for love

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how much is my worth

Tell me what this floor will birth

The numbers rise and so do I

Nothing left to ask why

Chorus

I'm a soul on rent, living fast

Every step comes at an asking cost

Sell the hour for a brighter sky

Soul on rent, that's how it goes

Bridge

What if nothing was for sale

No price tag, no return at all?

Just the ground beneath my feet

Nothing borrowed, nothing to keep

Chorus

I'm a soul on rent, living fast

Every step comes at an asking cost

Sell the hour for a brighter sky

Soul on rent, that's how it goes
