[Intro]
Smoke stain on the window, rain on the street
The city hums in grayscale, where lies and shadows meet
[Verse 1]
I chase a whisper through the neon rain
A looping frame that never changes, a ghost inside the pane
The last feed bleeds red, then turns to black
An impossible silhouette walking the crack between the facts and the fact-fact
[Pre-Chorus]
If the lens can bend, what else remains true?
The walls whisper answers I never thought I’d pursue
[Chorus]
In the glare of the broken city, truth slips through the glass
I’m chasing fragments of a future that never quite will pass
The footage folds the world, distorts the street and sky
A forbidden horizon waiting where reason says goodbye
[Verse 2]
I question every brick, every alley’s face I know
The figure glides through timelines, a teaspoon of tomorrow
Demolition dust rises like proof I can’t ignore
The city rewrites its own map, and I’m craving more
[Pre-Chorus]
If the frame can bend, what is the ground I stand on?
The heartbeat of the city answers with a ghostly long song
[Chorus]
In the glare of the broken city, truth slips through the glass
I’m chasing fragments of a future that never quite will pass
The footage folds the world, distorts the street and sky
A forbidden horizon waiting where reason says goodbye
[Bridge]
The last light flickers, the code dissolves to mist
I’m left with echoes of a truth I couldn’t resist
If reality fractures, will I still recognize my name?
Or am I just a witness to a city that forgot its same
[Chorus]
In the glare of the broken city, truth slips through the glass
I’m chasing fragments of a future that never quite will pass
The footage folds the world, distorts the street and sky
A forbidden horizon waiting where reason says goodbye
[Outro]
I close my eyes to listen to the silence between frames
The building’s memory fades, but the question stays the same
Where does the city end, and where does I begin to lie?
When the last CCTV sighs, I’m left staring at the sky
