[Intro]
Walking down these shadowed streets,
Stories linger, unspoken, unrehearsed.
Every face bears a hidden tweet,
Of silent battles in the vast dark.
[Verse 1]
As I walk along this street
I see a man who walks alone
The Distant echo of people's feet
He found a place to call his own
[Pre-Chorus]
Every corner, every mile,
Hides a story, hides a trial.
Can you hear the whispered cry?
Behind the smiles, the endless lie.
[Chorus]
What would you do, if it was you?
Would you take everything,
For granted like you do?
In a world so cold, so broken,
Are we just tokens bought and sold?
[Verse 2]
Shots rang out from the roof overhead
A crackhead asked for change nearby
The old man lay in the alleyway dead
The little girl lost just stood there and cried
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows dance on peeling walls,
Stories written on the falls.
Can you see through all the gloom?
Find the light behind the doom.
[Chorus]
What would you do, if it was you?
Would you take everything,
For granted like you do?
In a world so cold, so broken,
Are we just tokens bought and sold?
[Bridge]
A boy just thirteen on the corner
Swallowed his pride for another hit
Overpopulation, there's no room in jail
But none of you give a shit
That your daughter is a porno star
And your son sells death to kids
You're all lost in your little world
A little world you'll never fill.
[Verse 3]
Silent screams beneath the neon glow
Dreams crushed in a hurried rush
Trying to find a way to grow
While walls around us hush
[Pre-Chorus]
Look beyond the city lights,
See the shadows, hear their fights.
Is there hope within the pain?
Or are we lost, lost again?
[Chorus]
What would you do, if it was you?
Would you take everything,
For granted like you do?
In a world so cold, so broken,
Are we just tokens bought and sold?
[Outro]
Maybe one day we'll understand,
All the tears, all the scars.
Until then, we walk these lands,
Searching for who we are.
