Runes in Neon 7

Verse

Concrete jungle, six a.m.

Gold on my wrist but the block still sleeping

Money don't move when the streets are quiet

It moves when we do — it's how the city bleeding

Chain link shadow across the alley

Headlights ghost where the taxis folding

Every dollar's just a door swinging

One more push before the morning pulling

Pre-Chorus

So I'm not tired, I'm just timing

Every step that the city didn't finish

Something about this hour is mine only

Something in my chest keeps calling

Chorus

Runes in neon on a paper wall

Every dollar's got a name and fall

I am the one who made it all unfold

Gold under nails before I'm old

Runes in neon, watch them rise

This is mine until the morning light

Verse 2

Coffee warm but the ice still ringing

Radio static where the station folding

Taxi cab door slamming shut behind me

Someone else is running, someone's chasing

Same four walls but the current flips it

Sweat on my neck and the ceiling blinking

Every dollar's just a light that's dimming

I'm the one who keeps the whole system whimpering

Pre-Chorus

So I'm not tired, I'm just timing

Every step that the city didn't finish

Something about this hour is mine only

Something in my chest keeps calling

Chorus

Runes in neon on a paper wall

Every dollar's got a name and fall

I am the one who made it all unfold

Gold under nails before I'm old

Runes in neon, watch them rise

This is mine until the morning light

Bridge

Not for the crown — not for what they'll say

Just this rush that won't fade with the day

Every step's a debt repaid in full

I am the king of the hour and nothing else

Chorus

Runes in neon on a paper wall

Every dollar's got a name and fall

I am the one who made it all unfold

Gold under nails before I'm old

Runes in neon, watch them rise

This is mine until the morning light
