[Verse]
Flooded streets soaked in all this sound
Chaos screamin' where the truth is found
Steps to nowhere slick with ash and rain
City whispers heartbeats full of pain
[Verse 2]
Concrete gods with their broken backs
Rusty halos in the faded cracks
Steam rises from the gutters untold
Seattle’s fire but the air feels cold
[Chorus]
Up the stairs where the echoes fight
Chasin’ ghosts in the dim streetlight
No landing no sky just open despair
Steppin’ hard as if they care
[Bridge]
Strings wail strong under tar-soaked skies
Busker brawls where the music cries
Fingers bleed carving every note
Hungry hearts but the truth I wrote
[Verse 3]
Coffee black and the needles sting
Time moves slow but don’t mean a thing
Every shadow every hollowed groove
Grinding forth but I cannot move
[Chorus]
Up the stairs where the echoes fight
Chasin’ ghosts in the dim streetlight
No landing no sky just open despair
Steppin’ hard as if they care
