Wolves in Concrete Skin

Verse

Chain link fence where the city meets the trees

Crows line up like they're waiting for me

Speakers hum a low-end prayer

Every shadow's got its own pair of eyes watching the stairs

I was raised on concrete, told to keep my head down

Now I'm standing tall and counting my own sound

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it crawling up through the drain?

Is that thunder or just the engine hum again?

Every brick has a story it's not telling me

Is this what freedom feels like, or is it breaking free?

Chorus

I was built for the dark but I'm rising now

Wolves in concrete skin and we're walking out of the house

Feet on the asphalt, fists up to the sky

We're the revolution when the sirens die

Verse

Fire escape ladder rusted half way down

Smoke from a bonfire carried into town

Sirens chasing shadows that aren't mine

I'm not afraid of what I've left behind

Every block got its own legend, every one a lie

We're writing our own in charcoal on the sky

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it crawling up through the drain?

Is that thunder or just the engine hum again?

Every brick has a story it's not telling me

Is this what freedom feels like, or is it breaking free?

Chorus

I was built for the dark but I'm rising now

Wolves in concrete skin and we're walking out of the house

Feet on the asphalt, fists up to the sky

We're the revolution when the sirens die

Bridge

Maybe freedom don't mean getting out

Maybe it's just about not backing down

This is my cage and I'm still standing tall

I was never meant to survive this at all

Chorus

I was built for the dark but I'm rising now

Wolves in concrete skin and we're walking out of the house

Feet on the asphalt, fists up to the sky

We're the revolution when the sirens die
