Bullet Time Blues

Snow fell hard on the city tonight, Streetlights flickered in a pale white glow. Every alley held a ghost of yesterday, Every memory moved in slow motion. The radio whispered bad news again, The skyline wore a crown of rain. I kept walking through the wreckage of dreams, Trying to outrun the pain. But the shadows knew my name, And they followed all the same. I'm living with the bullet time blues, Watching every second stretch in two. The night's got nothing left to lose, And neither do I. Through the smoke and neon signs, Searching for what's left behind. Running from the truth I knew, With these bullet time blues. The city sang in sirens and lies, Broken promises filled the air. Every answer opened another door, Every door led nowhere. The moon hung low above the streets, Like a witness to it all. I've been chasing justice through the dark, But the dark won't let me go. The shadows knew my name, And they followed all the same. I'm living with the bullet time blues, Watching every second stretch in two. The night's got nothing left to lose, And neither do I. Through the smoke and neon signs, Searching for what's left behind. Running from the truth I knew, With these bullet time blues. Slow motion hearts keep breaking, Slow motion worlds collide. You can run from every enemy, But not what's trapped inside. The snow keeps falling endlessly, Covering the scars. But some wounds shine forever Like forgotten stars. I'm living with the bullet time blues, One last chapter, one last fuse. The city burns in shades of blue, As the night rolls by. Through the smoke and neon signs, I finally leave the past behind. The dawn is breaking into view, Beyond these bullet time blues. Snow falls soft on the avenue, The darkness fades from view. The story ends, the city's through, And so are the bullet time blues.
