City Lights Chaos

Steppin' through the fog, shadows on my trail,

Dreams heavy like the chains on a killer's jail.

Concrete whispers, secrets in the cracks,

Heartbeats syncopated, dodging heart attacks.

Eyes on the skyline, neon veins bleed,

City's a beast, feeding off the greed.

Every corner's got a sermon, but the choir's mute,

Truth wrapped in riddles, lies dressed in a suit.

City lights burn, watch 'em flicker, then fade,

Every hustle's got a cost, every deal's a trade.

Running through the chaos, can't stop, no way,

City lights burn, we the wolves, we prey.

Late night schemin', smoke in the lungs,

Echoes of the sirens, ballads unsung.

Got a pocket full of hope, but it's laced with doubt,

Every alley’s got a story, every shout’s a route.

Pavement's a jungle, jungle's got kings,

King's got a crown, but it's tied with strings.

Rat race anthem, running in the maze,

But the cheese ain't real, just a mirage in the haze.

Clock hands spinning, but the time feels stuck,

World's a roulette, gotta press your luck.

Dreams on the table, chips in the stack,

But the house always wins, no way to claw back.
