Pillars of Neon (versione 2)

Verse

Concrete pillars crack the amber glow

Neon veins beneath my skin ignite

Four years climbing from a single corner stall

Every failure wrote a verse I hold tonight

I see it now in every face that walks past

A version older, stronger, never cast away

Not the fear but what it made me do

Some nights still remember how to break through

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the tower shake beneath our feet?

Something heavy rising through my chest?

I built this out of every wall they tried to meet

I will not let them burn this, I must be next

Chorus

Pillars of neon, standing tall tonight

Every brick a lesson that I held alive

Rise up through the static into blinding light

This is how we build the cities we ignite

Verse 2

Four years later, same corner, different door

The graffiti spells out names from every floor

Not just mine—every scar the street can keep

A map of warriors, silent as they sleep

They say progress erases where it stood

I learned that wrong by trying to forget I was good

So I built a beacon from the broken light we left behind

Let the whole block see what nobody ever claimed

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the tower shake beneath our feet?

Something heavy rising through my chest?

I built this out of every wall they tried to meet

I will not let them burn this, I must be next

Chorus

Pillars of neon, standing tall tonight

Every brick a lesson that I held alive

Rise up through the static into blinding light

This is how we build the cities we ignite

Bridge

Let it break

Let it fall

I don't need this corner to be whole

Just the spark from every street that knew my name

Chorus

Pillars of neon, standing tall tonight

Every brick a lesson that I held alive

Rise up through the static into blinding light

This is how we build the cities we ignite
