[Verse]
Elmyra lost, echoes in the dark gray mist,
Streets cracked open, dreams still clenched in fists,
Lanterns flicker silent, last breath dismissed,
City's heartbeat skipped; it don't even persist.
[Verse 2]
Bugged out people, antennas to the sky,
Scrolling for salvation; algorithms lie,
Concrete jungle tales, bats still gonna fly,
Electric whispers hummin’ while the future goes dry.
[Chorus]
Elmyra calls, but its voice is a stump,
City’s veins run dry, rhythm's just a thump,
Past lives buried where the buildings all clump,
Lost in rust and rubble, dreams hit a dump.
[Verse 3]
Helping hands rise, palms scarred with strain,
Diggin' through the ruins for some hope amidst the pain,
Grease on their fingers, stardust in their brain,
Patchin' life's leaks day by day in the rain.
[Verse 4]
Manhole covers chatter secrets to the street,
Markets once alive now silent in defeat,
Echoes of laughter where the alleys used to meet,
Now it's a symphony of scrapes, claw marks on repeat.
[Bridge]
Broken city blues, written in the stone,
Elmyra's song plays in isolation zones,
A chalkboard tally carved on every bone,
They left it bugged out but refuse to disown.
