#NoirChallenge The night is humming under skin Static crawling through the wind Every shadow moves too slow Every light begins to glow Footsteps hiding in the rain Every silence feels like pain Every whisper from the street Makes the pulse inside me beat Breath held tight I don't blink Every signal makes me think Blink-blink Blink-blink Every shadow makes me think Blink-blink Blink-blink Something moving in the link Blink-blink Blink-blink Every silence on the brink Blink-blink Blink-blink Waiting for the breaking thing Red lights bleeding through the glass Distant sirens slowly pass Metal voices through the air Tell me something's almost there I can feel it in the floor Like a wave behind the door Like the city holds its breath Waiting for a sudden step Heartbeat slow Don't move quick Every signal starts to tick Blink-blink Blink-blink Every shadow makes me think Blink-blink Blink-blink Something moving in the link Blink-blink Blink-blink Every silence on the brink Blink-blink Blink-blink Waiting for the breaking thing If it comes I run or freeze Fight the dark or drop to knees Every choice becomes the same When the body starts to blame Voices fading in the wire Cold electric quiet fire All the signals start to ring And I'm already gone Blink-blink Blink-blink Red lights fading on the brink Blink-blink Blink-blink Silence louder than I think
