Lyrics

Intro, Pulsing bass, Sparse hi-hat, Droning synths

Shadows crawl along the empty street

Neon flickers where the lost souls meet

Cold wind whispers secrets through the cracks

Every heartbeat echoes what we lack

Verse 1, Driving bass, Angular guitar stabs, Detached vocals

I walk the line between day and night

Fingers trace the walls of fading light

Concrete hums beneath my shoes

Every shadow is a choice I lose

Pre-Chorus, Rising synth tension, Minimal cymbals

Feel the tremor under skin

Every step a pull within

Chorus, Sparse but urgent, Bass and synth interlock

The darkness pours out from me

I cannot bend, I cannot flee

Silent signals in the street

The darkness, the darkness moves my feet

Verse 2, Detached vocals, Driving bass continues

Mirrors crack and angels fall

Every whisper tells it all

Streets of glass and silent stone

Every echo guides me home

Pre-Chorus, Tension builds, Synth pulses

Hear the hum beneath your skin

Every step a pull within

Chorus, Sparse, hypnotic drive

The darkness pours out from me

I cannot bend, I cannot flee

Silent signals in the street

The darkness, the darkness moves my feet

Bridge, Minimal percussion, Droning synth and guitar

Ahh… ahh…

The city waits and watches

Ahh… ahh…

Every shadow marches

Outro, Pulsing bass fades, Synth stabs recede

Every signal fades to black

But the rhythm brings it back
