[Verse 1] Neon veins pulse through the concrete night We stumble soft, no fight left in our bones One hit, one scroll, one empty high And the floor gives way beneath our own Fragile skin, paper-thin resolve We crumble quiet in the blue-lit haze Chasing sharper edges, louder noise Just to feel something through the daze [Chorus] Addicted city, we’re drowning slow Trading souls for the next bright glow Weaker hearts keep asking for more Stronger hits to fill the hollow core Wake up, look inside, the silence calls Find yourself before the whole world falls [Verse 2] Dopamine ghosts in every glowing screen We sell our days for a temporary rush Needles of light, pills of pretend The more we take, the less we trust Buildings lean like tired men We lean with them, too tired to stand Always hungrier for the next extreme Forgetting who we were, what we planned [Chorus] Addicted city, we’re drowning slow Trading souls for the next bright glow Weaker hearts keep asking for more Stronger hits to fill the hollow core Wake up, look inside, the silence calls Find yourself before the whole world falls [Bridge] Put the phone down, let the static die Feel the quiet that you used to know The real you is still breathing underneath Not the ghost that the city made you grow [Outro] Addicted city… but you can walk away Find the self you buried in the noise Soft steps back to solid ground Before the last light swallows every choice
