[Verse 1]
Boisterous city
Steam from the grates
Light rail screaming
Brakes sing
Hearts race
Backpack crooked
Headphones loud
Weaving through bodies
I vanish in crowds
[Chorus]
Boisterous city
I’m breathing you in
Every sharp corner
Tattoos on my skin
Laugh at the chaos
Cough in the heat
High on the rush and I’m higher on the street
[Drop]
[glitched vocal chop] “City… city…”
Bass like a fist in my ribs
Hands in the air
I’m grinning
Whole block shaking where I live
[Verse 2]
Eyes go bloodshot
Neon goes soft
Lean on a railing
Watch the trains lift off
Strangers are passing
I float in place
Time goes sideways
Smoke curls round my face
[Chorus]
[Drop]
[crowd chant] “Bois-ter-ous!” (hey!)
Kick in the chest
Floor splits
Nothing is quiet
Not even my thoughts
I ride the rumble
Every hit
Every hit
