Shadowplay

Fingers trace maps in the fog of the glass,

Shadows move slow, but the seconds won’t last.

Neon’s flicker, city’s heart skips beats,

Concrete jungle where the ghosts still feast.

Heavy breath, whispers drip like venom,

Streets pulse, veins of a phantom system.

Brick walls bleed stories, ancient and raw,

Echoes in the alleys—silent, no applause.

Shadowplay, in the dark we stay,

Light bends, truth fades, night betrays.

Shadowplay, where the lost hearts stray,

Underneath the bass, the world decays.

Clock strikes midnight, wolves wear suits,

Eyes sharp, teeth drip forbidden fruits.

Heavy bassline’s a heartbeat of war,

Shaking the ground, rattling the core.

Footsteps fall like a gun cocked back,

Voices cut short, no room for slack.

Moon’s the witness, her stare ice-cold,

Under her gaze, the stories unfold.

Bassline thumps, heartbeat syncs,

Eyes wide open but you’re on the brink.

Lost in the rhythm, swallowed whole,

Dark’s got a way of claiming souls.
