Veins of the City

Neon lights bleed through the cracks, This city’s heartbeat, a thunder that lacks. Concrete rivers, a pulse in the stone, I’ve been walking these streets like they’re my own. Pre-Chorus: The night’s alive, but it’s hollow inside, I’m chasing shadows where the truth used to hide. Chorus: In the veins of the city, I’m losing myself, Every corner’s a secret, every street’s a hell. I’m bleeding into the dark, fading into the sparks, In the veins of the city, I’m just a ghost to tell. Verse 2: Every whisper’s a lie, every face is a mask, The past is a question I don’t dare to ask. Skyscrapers rise like gods in the haze, But their shadows keep stealing the light from my days. Pre-Chorus: The night’s alive, but it cuts like a blade, Every road’s a memory I wish I’d betrayed. Chorus: In the veins of the city, I’m losing myself, Every corner’s a secret, every street’s a hell. I’m bleeding into the dark, fading into the sparks, In the veins of the city, I’m just a ghost to tell. Bridge: The alleys scream with the weight of the pain, A chorus of silence, a hymn of the rain. But somewhere in the cracks, there’s a light breaking through, And I’m reaching for something, but I don’t know who. Chorus (building, then explosive): In the veins of the city, I’m losing myself, Every corner’s a secret, every street’s a hell. But I’m fighting through the dark, chasing the faintest spark, In the veins of the city, I’ll find someone else. Outro: The city bleeds, but it won’t take me, I’ll carve my name into its arteries. In the veins of the city, I’m still alive, A ghost no more—I’ve learned to survive.
