[Intro – Guitar arpeggio, faint city noise samples] Streetlights flicker under my skin, A skyline rises where I begin, Every heart’s a map I’ve read, Every thought a street I’ve tread. [Verse 1 – Muted guitar riff, pulsing bass] You’ve got traffic lights behind your eyes, Crowded corners where silence hides, Billboards painted with words unsaid, Bridges burning, streets of red. [Pre-Chorus – Drums build, synth shimmer] When I walk through you, I see, A thousand roads of memory… [Chorus – Full guitars, soaring vocals, anthemic energy] Inner cities, alive tonight, Skylines glowing with borrowed light, Every soul’s a world to see, And your inner city’s calling me. [Verse 2 – Stronger guitar, rhythmic vocals] There’s graffiti made of your mistakes, Subway tunnels where the daylight breaks, Parks where laughter still remains, Rivers flowing with hidden pains. [Pre-Chorus – Build again, harmonized vocals] When I walk through you, I find, A thousand echoes left behind… [Chorus – Repeat, more intensity, layered gang vocals] Inner cities, alive tonight, Skylines glowing with borrowed light, Every soul’s a world to see, And your inner city’s calling me. [Bridge – Guitar solo, beat drops to half-time, vocals soft then rising] No one’s skyline looks the same, Every street’s a burning flame, I’ll keep walking, never end, Every city makes a friend. [Final Chorus – Explosive, stadium-rock vibe] Inner cities, alive tonight, Skylines glowing with borrowed light, Every soul’s a world to see, And your inner city’s calling me! [Outro – Guitar arpeggio returns, fading city noise] Streetlights flicker under my skin…
