[Verse 1] Skyscrapers rise, they block the sky Even the stars can’t catch my eye Streetlights burn with a taste of regret The city drags a boy where the dark is set [Pre-Chorus] Reachin’ out, feels like I’m near But my heart’s gone cold, drowned in fear [Chorus] Baby night is laughin’ loud Like whiskey burnin’ through the crowd Baby night is laughin’ loud The heartbeat of the city pulls the young one down [Verse 2] In the pit he digs for light Screams are swallowed by the night Is this city truly alive? Or has the boy stopped his fight to survive? Singin’ songs just to multiply Echoes rising to the sky [Bridge] Sucked inside the funnel deep Concrete walls where the shadows creep Still the boy begins to run Breakin’ free, a universe begun [Chorus] Baby night is laughin’ loud Like whiskey burnin’ through the crowd Baby night is laughin’ loud The heartbeat of the city pulls the young one down [Outro] Skyscrapers cut the wounded sky Piercin’ heaven as they rise so high
