City’s Heartbeat

The neon signs flickered, like sad fireflies Casting shadows on dreams, where the lost hope lies Concrete bruises, drenched in urban rain Echoes of laughter, now whispers of pain I'm walking this tightrope, a ghost in the night Searching for fragments of spark in the blight And oh, can you hear the city's heart breaking Beneath the surface, it's begging, it's aching With every heartbeat, the darkness invades We're dancing on edges where sunlight decays Once, there were lovers who soared through the sky With laughter like thunder, they dared to defy But the rooftops are empty, just echoes remain Magpies of memory, stitching scars in the rain Chasing old shadows that flutter like ghosts While the city keeps turning, we're lost in our posts And oh, can you hear the city's heart breaking Beneath the surface, it's begging, it's aching With every heartbeat, the darkness invades We're dancing on edges where sunlight decays Disconnect, rewind—they said we'd be fine Patchwork of moments, unraveling time But the sirens still wail, a song without grace We're lost in translation across this dark space In the alleyways, memories fade like a ghost Whispers of freedom that we cherish the most But the grit and the grime, they carve out a place Where broken remains find their rhythm, their grace So let's shatter the silence, let's scream at the sky With the weight of the world, let's learn how to fly And oh, can you hear the city's heart breaking Beneath the surface, it's begging, it's aching With every heartbeat, the darkness invades We're dancing on edges where sunlight decays The neon signs flickered, like sad fireflies Casting shadows on dreams, where the lost hope lies Concrete bruises, drenched in urban rain Echoes of laughter, now whispers of pain I'm walking this tightrope, a ghost in the night Searching for fragments of spark in the blight And oh, can you hear the city's heart breaking Beneath the surface, it's begging, it's aching With every heartbeat, the darkness invades We're dancing on edges where sunlight decays And oh, can you hear the city's heart breaking Beneath the surface, it's begging, it's aching With every heartbeat, the darkness invades We're dancing on edges where sunlight decays
