Sodium Boulevard

[Verse 1] Sodium lamps line the boulevard, Windshield beads drift slow and sparse, Quiet engine hum beneath the heart, We coast through amber, soft and dark. [Pre-Chorus] Slow inhale, hold it in the space, Teeter on the edge of go or stay, Hover where the want meets restraint, Let the silence say our names. [Chorus] On this sodium boulevard, We don’t have to go too far, Stay in the glow, stay in the glow, Let the night pull us close. On this sodium boulevard, Write our shadows on the cars, Stay in the glow, stay in the glow. [Verse 2] Crosswalk chime keeps time in rain, Cafe blinds spill gold on panes, Hush of tires on the wet road, You look at me, the city fades. [Rap] Low-key, glow-queen, rolling in a slow beam, Chrome gleam, cone beams painting out a whole dream. Soft-spoken, doors open, I’m the clean seam, Poised motion, no commotion, call it low beam. Measured cadence, presence that’s evident, Elegant, relevant—I set the precedent. City’s metronome, I own it without shouting, Quiet crown, subtle sound, but the power’s mounting. Night-signed, right-timed, lines like lifelines, High-sheen, widescreen, write in white lines. I don’t push to be seen, I breathe and it shows— Own the dark like a spark, stay in the glow. [Bridge] Break me down to bell arp and snaps, Whispered harmonies tracing the map, Breath on glass, a vow we keep, In the hush we fall but never sleep. [Chorus] On this sodium boulevard, We don’t have to go too far, Stay in the glow (stay), stay in the glow (oh), Hold me under amber stars. On this sodium boulevard, Let the engine be our guard, Stay in the glow (stay), stay in the glow. [Outro] Arp fades out, streetlights blinking out, We roll to quiet, softer than a sound. Sodium slips from the boulevard— We keep the glow inside the dark.
