Streetlights Serenade

[Verse]
Streetlights hum, serenade of the hood
Concrete choir where the broken stood
Potholes deeper than my pockets, still I tread
Every step a gamble, roll dice with the dead

Echoes of sirens, lullabies of the night
Dreams in the gutter, out of mind, outta sight
Spray cans whisper, walls speak the truth
Hieroglyphs of pain, scars of the youth

[Chorus]
Streetlights, guiding where the shadows hide
Streetlights, glowing where the truth collides
Underneath the glow, stories intertwine
Streetlights, my compass and my crooked line

[Verse 2]
Moon hangs heavy, belly full of regrets
Alleys cough secrets, cigarette silhouettes
Past on my back, future in my crosshairs
Mirror shows a ghost, but nobody cares

Shoe soles thinner than my patience runs
Streets play percussion, heart beats the drums
Every corner's a choice, every crack's a tale
Chasing freedom like a kite in a hurricane's gale

[Bridge]
Neon reflections, fractured dreams on display
Skyscrapers watch as we hustle and decay
Beneath the glow, we’re just shadows and sparks
Flames flicker bright, then swallowed by the dark
