(Heavy, distorted synth intro with a slow, ominous beat)
**(Verse 1)**
Streetlights bleedin' orange on the cracked asphalt ground,
Another night breathin' in the silence without sound.
Shadows stretch like fingers, reachin' from the alley's maw,
Where promises are broken, and the only law is raw.
Young hearts beat like drums against a cage of bone,
Trapped in this concrete jungle, where hope has overgrown
With weeds of desperation, feedin' on the fear,
Each sunrise just a reminder that the end is drawing near.
**(Chorus)**
This ain't no fairy tale, no heroes in the light,
Just sirens wailin' lullabies into the bitter night.
The air is thick with secrets, stained with blood and sweat,
Another life extinguished, another broken threat.
We dance with devils daily, on a razor's edge we tread,
Lost in the labyrinth where only darkness is bred.
**(Verse 2)**
Empty vials glintin' like fallen, frozen tears,
Whispers of the fix that washes away the years.
A fleeting moment's solace in a chemical embrace,
Chasin' phantom feelings in this desolate place.
Loyalty's a fragile thing, bought and sold with greed,
Brother turns on brother when survival's the only creed.
The weight of every stolen breath, a burden hard to bear,
But the hunger bites relentless, a constant, cold despair.
**(Chorus)**
This ain't no fairy tale, no heroes in the light,
Just sirens wailin' lullabies into the bitter night.
The air is thick with secrets, stained with blood and sweat,
Another life extinguished, another broken threat.
We dance with devils daily, on a razor's edge we tread,
Lost in the labyrinth where only darkness is bred.
**(Bridge)**
Mama's prayers are fading, lost within the din,
Another son gone silent, another battle we can't win.
The cycle spins relentless, a venom in the vein,
Washin' over innocence like a cold and driving rain.
We build our walls of anger, brick by bitter brick,
Afraid to feel the tenderness, the love that makes us sick
With longing for a life that we can barely see,
A ghost of a tomorrow that will never truly be.
**(Chorus)**
This ain't no fairy tale, no heroes in the light,
Just sirens wailin' lullabies into the bitter night.
The air is thick with secrets, stained with blood and sweat,
Another life extinguished, another broken threat.
We dance with devils daily, on a razor's edge we tread,
Lost in the labyrinth where only darkness is bred.
**(Outro)**
The beat fades slow, like a dying heartbeat's fall,
Leaving just the echo in these concrete walls.
Another night is over, the darkness holds its sway,
And we're just breathin' shadows, waitin' for the break of day... that may never come.
