Domino Effect

[Verse 1] Neon tickers lick the panes downtown, Quarterly crowns on a glass high ground. One small hedge and the margins slide, One missed shift and the food lines widen. [PreChorus] Light on the tower, dark in the alley, Credit like weather no crowd can rally. Counting backward as numbers bleed, We prime the fall with the smallest deed. [Chorus] Domino effect—black ink turns red, Bid floors shred while the spread is fed; Shadow banks thank what the streets neglect, No brakes, no reset—Domino effect. [Verse 2] Golden handcuffs click in the lift, Pink slips drift like a winter sift. Rideshare nights and payday loans, Ghosted shifts and collapsing homes. [PreChorus] Balance sheets on broken knees, Selling tomorrow to service fees. Gravity audits what we forget, Calls it in as compound debt. [Chorus] Domino effect—boom to gloom in a sec, Cheques bounce back and the debts collect; Bright districts profit while backstreets wrecked, No brakes, no reset—Domino effect. [Bridge] I watch a single tile refuse the tilt, Hands interlock where the fault-lines split. In data fog, a low-lit vow: We pool our light; it matters now. [Breakdown] Red—black—red—track the check; Bread—spread—bled—what’s next? Stand—hand—band—interconnect— Hold that spark against the wreck. [Final Chorus] Domino effect—ledgers confess what’s wrecked, Crash after cash-out, the debts collect; Still, one small spark in the dark connects— No brakes, no reset—Domino effect. [Outro] Control is gone, the spread is set— But a stubborn ember hasn’t failed us yet.
