Two Thugs

[Intro] Midnight breath on pavement cold and blue Two shadows gather, the city waiting for you Whispers of risk ride the autumn wind A choice to learn or lose, the night will begin [Verse 1] Two thugs stand where the streetlight glows One pockets trouble, one drums up a ghost They count the night like coins in a chest But the clock keeps time and the heart knows best [Chorus] Two in the night, trying to outrun the dawn Cravings and guilt ride the same gray lawn If mercy shows up when we fall Maybe the morning finds us not broken at all [Verse 2] Plans kindled quick beneath neon glare But conscience weighs heavier than the dare They trade that spark for a quieter choice Two thugs choosing a different voice [Chorus] Two in the night, trying to outrun the dawn Cravings and guilt ride the same gray lawn If mercy shows up when we fall Maybe the morning finds us not broken at all [Bridge] Under the streetlamp, a choice goes clean They lay down the map and step toward what’s seen If dawn will judge, let mercy be the crown They walk away from trouble, leaving it underground [Chorus] Two in the night, we chase the fading dawn Cravings and guilt ride the same old lawn If mercy finds us when we fall Morning finds us standing tall, after all [Outro] Morning clears the streets, the lesson stays Two thugs with lighter steps, wiser ways The city wakes to another chance A fresh rhythm begins, a kinder trance
