Distant sirens. Then a howl with reverb for days_ City sleeps... I don’t... Neon signs wash out the stars, but I still know north Paw prints disappear on asphalt, still I cut across Dumpsters smell like bad decisions, taxi fumes like fear But under all that gasoline, I can still taste deer I hunt between the streetlights, alleys are my trees Fire escapes my cliffsides, wind comes through the ACs Humans think they’re apex ‘cause they built it all from brick But they jump at every shadow, and I am shadow, slick I don’t belong here, but neither does the moon Yet here we are together, lighting up the gloom They built a cage of light Thought they’d keep the night Outside... But I’m inside This is my *concrete howl* Echo off the glass and steel I’m the glitch in your control I’m the thing you cannot feel Watching from the rooftop While you’re scrolling on your phone You made a jungle out of money But you still sound like prey alone *Concrete howl*, *concrete howl* The wild never left, it just learned to prowl Digital... Security cams catch nothing but a blur, a static crack You tell yourself it’s traffic, but your pulse fights back I drink from broken hydrants, bathe in rain that tastes like rust Sleep in the guts of buildings where the blueprints turned to dust You think you tamed the planet with your concrete and your code But every night the power lines hum the tune the forest wrote I see you in your high-rise, safe behind your locks But locks don’t work on legends, and I am legend, fox Among the pigeons, eagle. Among the sheep, the lie. You wanted nature gone, but nature learned to drive You paved the earth to bury me But you forgot that roots go deep And now I’m in your circuitry In every camera that can’t sleep Look up... _synth stab_ I’m already here This is my *concrete howl* Echo off the glass and steel I’m the glitch in your control I’m the thing you cannot feel Watching from the rooftop While you’re scrolling on your phone You made a jungle out of money But you still sound like prey alone *Concrete howl*, *concrete howl* The wild never left, it just learned to prowl Digital... wild... ...still here...
