[Intro] Four a.m. — a howl below Concrete sea begins to throw [Verse 1] Floor becomes a rolling wave, walls collide and break Highways split like paper seams, a sleeping world awake Bridges fall and fire blooms, silence turns to cries Predawn screams and shattering as every system dies [Pre-Chorus] No safe ground, no place to stand The earth itself betrays the land [Chorus] Ground will not forgive tonight Foundations tear beneath the light City breaks and nothing stays Buried under fractured ways [Verse 2] Oxnard roads to Burbank gone, the veins of work destroyed Towers sway in Glendale’s sky, glass and fear employed Every mile a battlefield, each tremor takes its due Sirens wail through choking dusk as trust is split in two [Pre-Chorus] No safe ground, no place to stand The earth itself betrays the land [Chorus] Ground will not forgive tonight Foundations tear beneath the light City breaks and nothing stays Buried under fractured ways [Bridge] Promises were made of stone — but stone can twist and bleed Commutes collapse, the skyline sways, no faith in what we need Aftershocks like whispered threats, no rest, no sure return Every pulse a grim reminder: everything can burn [Outro] Ground will not forgive tonight Foundations tear beneath the light City breaks and nothing stays Buried under fractured ways
