Concrete Shadows

[Intro with synths] [Verse 1] Skyscrapers rise where the sun can't breathe, Steel and glass, the city’s wreath. Echoes of life in the streets below, A silent march where shadows grow. [Verse 2] Neon lights flicker, cold and pale, Dreams imprisoned in concrete jail. The air tastes heavy, the skies are gray, A future lost to the price we pay. [Pre-Chorus] We built this world on borrowed time, A barren maze with no design. The air tastes heavy, the skies are gray, A future lost to the price we pay. We built this world on borrowed time, A barren maze with no design. The city's heart, a hollow beat, Where hope and ruin always meet. [Chorus] Concrete shadows, they cover the sky, A city of whispers where souls go to die. The future we made is a cold machine, A hollow empire of broken dreams. [Verse 3] Once there was green where the towers stand, Now there’s only dust and fractured land. The rivers run with ash and steel, A world too numb to even feel. [Verse 4] Faces pass with vacant eyes, A silent chorus beneath gray skies. Dreamers fade in the city’s glow, Bound by chains they’ll never know. [Pre-Chorus] We built this world on borrowed time, A barren maze with no design. The city's heart, a hollow beat, Where hope and ruin always meet. [Chorus] Concrete shadows, they cover the sky, A city of whispers where souls go to die. The future we made is a cold machine, A hollow empire of broken dreams. [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 5] The night is alive, but it feels so dead, With neon veins where the stars once bled. No moon to guide, no dawn to see, Just the endless hum of machinery. [Outro] Echoes of laughter, now ghosts in stone, A fleeting reminder of what we’ve known. The city stands, but its soul is gone, A monument to what went wrong. [End]
