Resemblance of Light, Echoes of Darkness

[Intro] Neon on wet streets, reflections like mirrors Light flows in resemblance, darkness breaks into echoes [Verse 1] “Record shattered, the city shines brighter” Headlines sing, short and certain Happiness, a declaration, a summarized melody One voice, one rhythm, all converging But sorrow carries layered voices Broken lines, rushing winds Shuttered signs, silent windows Darkness scatters, echoing endlessly [Chorus] (Call-and-response) Resemblance of light (shining on) Echoes of darkness (spreading wide) Happiness spreads in concise phrases Sorrow resounds in endless stories [Verse 2] Misfortune spreads like urgent news Instinct writes, survival demands Yet in the noise, I hold a spark of hope Laying it down on the heavy kick’s groove Light resounds as a simple chorus Darkness shatters in countless harmonies Comfort rests in resemblance Awareness awakens in echoes [Bridge] Light is a single voice, a simple beat Darkness is many voices, tangled rhythms Only when we hear them both Do we learn the song of balance [Chorus] Resemblance of light (shining on) Echoes of darkness (spreading wide) Happiness spreads in concise phrases Sorrow resounds in endless stories [Outro] On soaked asphalt, shadows of glowing signs Light is carried in resemblance Darkness is written in echoes The song of balance, still unfinished
