Grit & Glass

[Verse 1]
Shadows stretch long on the broken concrete,
A thousand forgotten echoes in the city beat.
Rust on the rebar, a history unseen,
This is the pulse where the ghost city has been.

[Chorus]
Grit and glass, etched in my soul,
Another phantom memory takes its toll.
Underneath the neon's fractured gleam,
We're living out a quiet, desperate dream.

[Verse 2]
Stare through the pane, smeared with exhaust plume,
See the same struggle reflected in every room.
Generations whisper from corroded frames,
Playing old games, speaking forgotten names.

[Chorus]
Grit and glass, etched in my soul,
Another phantom memory takes its toll.
Underneath the neon's fractured gleam,
We're living out a quiet, desperate dream.

[Bridge]
The foundations tremble, a silent, deep crack,
No turning back now, no looking back.
We built our own light where the high-rises fall,
Hear the collective breath answering the call.

[Outro]
Whispers in the damp concrete haze,
Lost in these labyrinthine days.
