Echoes in the Haze

City lights drip, neon tears on pavement,

Moonlit fog, whispers of enslavement.

Heartbeats sync with the bassline’s crawl,

Towering shadows, giants that brawl.

Through the haze, I’m chasing my own ghost,

Toast to the future, but I fear the roast.

Voices echo, but they ain't mine,

Static hum cuts through the timeline.

Echoes in the haze, where the truth gets lost,

Pay the price, never knew the cost.

Dreams dissolve, like smoke in the breeze,

Caught in the current, down to my knees.

Echoes in the haze, echoes in the haze.

Gutter stars, constellations in the grime,

Time moves sideways, a pantomime.

Chasing beats that bleed through the cracks,

Every step forward, two steps back.

Wolves in suits, howling at the debt moon,

Clocks tick louder, end comes too soon.

Spirals in the air, signals I can’t decode,

Roads that lead nowhere, endless overload.

Pulse of the city, thumping in my veins,

Bound to the rhythm, shackled by chains.

Echoes in the haze, where the truth gets lost,

Pay the price, never knew the cost.

Dreams dissolve, like smoke in the breeze,

Caught in the current, down to my knees.

Echoes in the haze, echoes in the haze.
