[Intro] Streetlights hum like lullabies I’m awake… I think [Verse 1] Morning hits without a warning Same shirt, same shoes, same day Faces blur into a pattern Every word’s already played I move through crowds like I’m transparent No reflection in the glass Every step feels pre-recorded Like I’m walking through the past [Pre-Chorus] Time slips sideways when I’m breathing Minutes stretch into the night I’m not lost, I’m just not here yet Like my soul missed the flight [Chorus] These are sleepwalk cities Built of light and sound I’m wide awake but dreaming With my feet still on the ground Every street feels endless Every face goes by I’m living in these sleepwalk cities Just passing time [Verse 2] Neon rain on empty sidewalks Taxi radios mumble low I chase thoughts I almost recognize But I never let them go Every laugh feels slightly delayed Like it’s coming from a screen I nod along to conversations I don’t know what they mean [Pre-Chorus] I check the time, it’s always later I swear I blinked and lost a year I keep telling myself I’m fine But I’m not exactly here [Chorus] These are sleepwalk cities Built of light and sound I’m wide awake but dreaming With my feet still on the ground Every street feels endless Every face goes by I’m living in these sleepwalk cities Just passing time [Instrumental Bridge] (guitars swell, drums pull back, synths breathe) [Final Chorus – wider, more emotional] These are sleepwalk cities Holding me in place I keep moving through the motion But I don’t feel the pace If I stop, I’m scared I’ll feel it If I run, I’ll disappear So I wander through these sleepwalk cities Until something pulls me here [Outro] Streetlights fade into the distance I’m awake… I think
