Concrete in My Bones

Verse

Grey concrete rising in the dark

City heartbeat like a drum inside my chest

Cold air on my skin like a slap in the face

Neon bleeding into dawn's pale light

Feet know what they're doing long before

My mind starts chasing the last goodbye

Pre-Chorus

One last kick and then I'm free

This city owns me, but tonight it will be mine

Hold this feeling like it's made of smoke

One more breath and we'll take our turn

Chorus

Concrete in my bones

Pulse of steel beneath the stone

Run the grid until sunrise screams

We don't stop till morning breaks

Verse

Wet pavement, steam off a coffee cup

City walls are humming like an electric throng

Every footstep counting in this endless tide

No more names to call back home

My shadow stretches down into the brick

I lose my edges when the bass drops low

Nothing left but wire and skin tonight

This whole block is breathing where I used to be

Pre-Chorus

One last kick and then I'm free

This city owns me, but tonight it will be mine

Hold this feeling like it's made of smoke

One more breath and we'll take our turn

Chorus

Concrete in my bones

Pulse of steel beneath the stone

Run the grid until sunrise screams

We don't stop till morning breaks

Bridge

No names, no windows, just a line of light

Every face I pass is moving into flight

Nothing outside but this one narrow sound

I've found something that will never lose me round
