[Verse 1]
City lights hum, neon got a cold glare
Boots on pavement, heart heavy, I’m laid bare
Pocket full of dreams, but the seams been frayed
Shadows whisper truths where the debts don’t get paid
Steel strings crying, my soul’s in the wires
Bars smell like regret, old whiskey and tires
Jukebox preaches, gospel of the unhealed
808 thumps like the weight that I feel
[Chorus]
Downtown, where the night don’t sleep
Broken hearts in the gutter, secrets we keep
Downtown, where the lost ones roam
Searching for a sign, trying to find a home
[Verse 2]
Hood up, hat low, swagger through the smoke
Voices in the alley, every word’s a cruel joke
Streets play cards, house always wins
Dreams shuffle like dice, blow away in the wind
Grimy hands grab, the past pulls me down
Hunger in my chest, but the plate’s just a frown
Every corner spins tales, every crack’s a scar
Living for the moment ‘cause the future feels far
[Prechorus]
And the night breathes deep
Promises it won’t keep
Concrete can’t dream
