[Intro – whispered]
Neon smoke, rise slow,
Every shadow hides a name I’ll never know.
Rain burns bitter, streets hum low,
The city’s alive… but it eats its own.
[Verse 1 – male vocal]
Skyscrapers bow like drunken kings,
Billboards bleed their silent things.
I carry my sax, I carry my debt,
Dreams I buried haunt me yet.
[Pre-Chorus – spoken/jazz-poetic]
Footsteps echo down rusted rails,
Monsters watching, leaving no trails.
Every night, another story dies,
Every dawn, another lie.
[Chorus – rising techno pulse]
Neon smoke, take me higher,
Paint the sky in electric fire.
I’m still lost, but I still believe,
In a song this city cannot leave.
[Outro – glitch echoes]
(Neon smoke… neon smoke…)
The city breathes, the city chokes…
(Neon smoke… neon smoke…)
I walk alone, but never alone.
