Midnight Streetframe

[Intro] Midnight on the riverbed of the city, rain-slick and dim Neon halos spill like spilled secrets on the asphalt rim A lone heartbeat taps the clock of tires on the go, out front This is where the night remembers, where the quiet fights the sun [Verse 1] Footsteps echo, alleyways breathe in cigarette smoke Graffiti confessions curl and crackle on the brick-narrow woke I walk the line between yesterday and what I can’t forget Shadows wear the faces of the choices I regret [Pre-Chorus] Whispers from storefront glass tell me who I used to be A chipped mirror, a rusted chain, a fading memory [Chorus] In this streetlight weather, I’m a weathered frame of me Holding onto a薄紙 dream that won’t set me free The city hums a prayer beneath the tires and rain Late-night solitude learning to breathe again [Verse 2] Crosswalks blink like tired eyes, they know my name too well The harbor of the subway sighs with every traveler’s spell I carry a pocketful of echoes, a map drawn in dust Nostalgia tastes like asphalt and iron, a bitter trust [Pre-Chorus] Windows glow with stories I’ll never tell aloud I nod to the ghosts of corners where I stood proud [Chorus] In this streetlight weather, I’m a weathered frame of me Holding onto a薄紙 dream that won’t set me free The city hums a prayer beneath the tires and rain Late-night solitude learning to breathe again [Bridge] Set the night on a pedestal of rain and neon glow Let the street sing me awake from every chain I know [Chorus] In this streetlight weather, I’m a weathered frame of me Holding onto a薄紙 dream that won’t set me free The city hums a prayer beneath the tires and rain Late-night solitude learning to breathe again [Outro] When dawn finally pours through the blinds of the world outside I’ll walk away a little lighter, carrying what survived
