[Verse]
City lights dim the stars no twinkle in the sky
Broken glass beneath my feet like the truth we can't deny
Concrete whispers to my soul though the echo's out of tune
Darkness falls like a guillotine beneath a flickering moon
[Chorus]
Street killing sleep silent shadows on patrol
Concrete dreams they shatter breaking every soul
Creeping through the alleys on a one-way control
Street killing sleep silent it's swallowing us whole
[Verse 2]
Voices drowned in asphalt the city plays its part
Smoke curls through the silence from the embers of a heart
The neon hum is haunting like ghosts of what's been sung
Dreams get lost in alleys where the night's forever young
[Chorus]
Street killing sleep silent shadows on patrol
Concrete dreams they shatter breaking every soul
Creeping through the alleys on a one-way control
Street killing sleep silent it's swallowing us whole
[Bridge]
The walls have eyes they're watching the truth we try to hide
Where every hope is stolen and every tear has dried
Fingers trace an outline of a world we used to know
Streetlights paint the canvas but the colors never glow
[Chorus]
Street killing sleep silent shadows on patrol
Concrete dreams they shatter breaking every soul
Creeping through the alleys on a one-way control
Street killing sleep silent it's swallowing us whole
