[Verse]
Down here where the neon never glows
Rats run wild in the rivers that flow
Through veins of the city they’ll never show
I’m a king in the cracks of this endless grime
Cockroach crown
It’s my kingdom of time
Eating scraps of a world left behind
[Chorus]
In the city below
We thrive
We grow
Where the sun don’t shine
But we still glow
In the city below
The secrets flow
Where the trash sings songs only we know
[Verse 2]
Homeless hearts hum with the hum of the pipes
Dreams dissolve in the fog of the nights
No stars
Just the hum of electric lights
The rats tell stories of the world above
Of laughter
Of love
Of skies they dream of
I just nod
I’m a king
I’m enough
[Prechorus]
We don’t need no gilded throne
We’ve got dirt
And it’s our own
