Intro
Two a.m., the city hums a lonely tune
Streetlights blink like Morse code to the moon
Engine cooling, windows fogged with my own breath
Every corner keeps a secret, every silence holds a debt
Verse
Corner store light flickers, buzzing like a dying moth
I count the cracks in sidewalk while the red light turns to soft
Neon signs repeating colors on the wet cement
Every block's a memory of money that I spent
Chasing something golden through the shadows of downtown
Every siren sounds like heartbreak wearing a crown
Hoodie strings pulled tight against the wind's cold bite
Counting stars through smog, there's maybe three tonight
Phone lights up, her name still saved under "call back"
Static on the line, a whisper, then a crack
Taxi drivers know my face better than my kin
Dropped me off at heartbreak, said "same time again"
Vending machine hums the only song I trust
Feeding it my coins like feeding smoke to rust
Every block I walk, the echo talks back slow
Telling me the ones we love are the first to go
[Chorus
