What am I ?

(Verse 1)

Downtown lights blur through the taxi glass

Another late night, another fleeting pass

Through familiar streets, where memories reside

Of youthful dreams and where they slowly died

(Chorus)

We're not kids anymore, but who really is?

Chasing something real in this fabricated bliss

Trying to make sense of the static and the noise

Searching for our signal, making our own choice

(Verse 2)

Empty coffee cups and a sunrise in the haze

Reflecting on the choices, the winding maze

Of expectations, the pressure to conform

But the echo of our younger selves keeps us warm

(Chorus)

We're not kids anymore, but who really is?

Chasing something real in this fabricated bliss

Trying to make sense of the static and the noise

Searching for our signal, making our own choice

(Bridge)

(Tempo slows slightly, more introspective)

Remember all the promises we swore we'd keep?

Some faded in the distance, buried six feet deep

But the core of who we are still burns bright

A flicker in the darkness, guiding us through the night

(Chorus)

We're not kids anymore, but who really is?

Chasing something real in this fabricated bliss

Trying to make sense of the static and the noise

Searching for our signal, making our own choice

(Outro)

(Music builds in intensity, guitars become more prominent)

So let the guitars scream and the drums resonate

We're finding our own way, it's never too late

(Song ends with a final, powerful chord and a sustained drum beat)
