City Lights Crumble

Shadows stretch long across the street

Neon haze whispers incomplete

Twilight's grip tightens on my chest

City lights crumble can't catch my breath

Windows scream stories no one knows

Silences drip where the cold wind blows

Concrete pulses under beaten feet

Lost in echoes of a heartbeat

City’s cracking like a broken clock

Life burns out before the tick tock

Dreams scatter like glass on the ground

I’m screaming loud but there’s no sound

Dust and despair dance in the glow

Faceless crowds nowhere to go

Begging answers from the sky above

Questions sting never answered love

Each night eats what the day tried to build

The void grows wider the air is chilled

Spinning faster in a vicious grind

The city kills what it can’t find

City’s cracking like a broken clock

Life burns out before the tick tock

Dreams scatter like glass on the ground

I’m screaming loud but there’s no sound
