Blackout Curfew (वर्ज़न 2)

Intro

Nine p.m., the grid goes dim

Clock on the block, counting again

Verse

Streetlamp dies right on the hour

Whole block owes on borrowed power

Siren rolls at nine sharp bell

Feet keep time, don't need to tell

Chorus

Blackout curfew, lights on lease

Run the clock, no interest, no release

Blackout curfew, counting steps

Debt collects while the city sleeps

Verse

Window dark where the porch light was

Meter spins on invisible cause

Pre-Chorus

Minutes stack like unpaid bills

Curfew ticking, nobody stills

Chorus

Blackout curfew, lights on lease

Run the clock, no interest, no release

Blackout curfew, counting steps

Debt collects while the city sleeps

Bridge

Grid comes back at five a.m.

Same block, same debt again

Chorus

Blackout curfew, lights on lease

Run the clock, no interest, no release

Blackout curfew, counting steps

Debt collects while the city sleeps

Outro

Lights back on

Clock resets

Nothing's paid

Nothing's left
