[Intro]
Midnight rain drums on brick and glass, a plan unfurls in shadows’ pass
[Verse 1]
Abel walks the alleyline, chalk-white grin, a pocketful of brine and brash
He tests the borders, leans on trust, where loyalty runs thin and fast
Friends crowd the corner, anxious smiles, they know the trouble he’ll outlast
He bells the bell of mischief, heads turn, hearts beat loud like a stormy mast
[Pre-Chorus]
Guilt sits heavy as a streetlight’s glow, yet he smirks at the glare of truth
Temptation wears a friend’s face, a dare dressed up in silver-proof
[Chorus]
Abel, what did you break tonight?
In the mirror, who’s left to fight?
Cold echoes chase the footsteps right behind
We mend or bend, but truth won’t lie
[Verse 2]
He slips a note to the guardrail of a trust that’s fragile and thin
A dare to lift the city’s veil, to see what secrets sleep within
Laughter cracks, a line is crossed, the crowd breathes in the charged din
Consequence knocks on doors they swore would stay locked within
[Pre-Chorus]
Guilt gnaws softly, the night repeats his name in sour tones
Temptation wears the bravado of a crown that never fully owns
[Chorus]
Abel, what did you break tonight?
In the mirror, who’s left to fight?
Cold echoes chase the footsteps right behind
We mend or bend, but truth won’t lie
[Bridge]
Friends fade to silhouettes in neon, asking what’s left of the pact
The boy who laughed in shadows now counts the echoes he’s drawn back
Choices trail like tire marks, on streets where mercy loses track
Quiet hearts tally the cost, while Abel rehearses another act
[Chorus]
Abel, what did you break tonight?
In the mirror, who’s left to fight?
Cold echoes chase the footsteps right behind
We mend or bend, but truth won’t lie
[Outro]
Dawn wipes the rain from brick and bone, a quiet dawn, a fractured throne
Guilt hums in the air like a low drone, Abel walks away, not quite alone
