[Verse 1]
I wore the badge, wore the smile
Signed my name in corporate gold
Now they call me by a number
And keep my future in a hold
Glass tower, empty eyes
I learned to bow, I learned to bleed
Now I walk those braindance halls
Where every promise tastes like need
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me now
I still got fire in my ribs
Look at me now
I bite back when the chain slips
You took my name
Left the ghost and kept the skin
But I am not your pretty thing
I am the storm within
[Chorus]
Night City, don’t own me
Night City, don’t break me
I was made in the cage
Now I’m tearing the key
Night City, don’t own me
Night City, won’t tame me
I’m a blade in the chrome
And I’m coming for me
[Verse 2]
They dressed me up, sold me out
Put a price on my new face
Pretty lies in velvet rooms
Where the rich come touch the shame
But I still count every scar
Like a map back to my name
Every pulse under my skin
Says I’m more than what they made
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at me now
I still got fire in my ribs
Look at me now
I bite back when the chain slips
You took my name
Left the ghost and kept the skin
But I am not your pretty thing
I am the storm within
[Chorus]
Night City, don’t own me
Night City, don’t break me
I was made in the cage
Now I’m tearing the key
Night City, don’t own me
Night City, won’t tame me
I’m a blade in the chrome
And I’m coming for me
[Bridge]
I can hear the sirens call
From the edge of the main stage
Every lie they fed me
Turns to ash inside my rage
If I have to burn it all
I’ll burn it in my own skin
I’m not your pretty ending
I’m the riot breaking in
[Chorus]
Night City, don’t own me
Night City, don’t break me
I was made in the cage
Now I’m tearing the key
Night City, don’t own me
Night City, won’t tame me
I’m a blade in the chrome
And I’m coming for me
