City lights drip gold, honey on the pavement
Sidewalk cracks, stories in the arrangement
Whispers in the air, saxophones cry silent
Neon glow hums soft, a lullaby violent
My shadow waltzes with the skyline's spine
Feet tap rhythms, syncopated design
In the cracks of the night, truth stays hidden
A melody unspoken, forever forbidden
Glass clinks, the chatter fades
Velvet shadows, masquerades
Velvet skyline, holding secrets tight
Draped in whispers, drowning in the night
Velvet skyline, where the lost ones meet
Find their rhythm, feel the city beat
Steady drum, heartbeat, ticking of a clock
Time slips smooth, jazz hands, and the talk
Elevator rides, rise, and fall like breath
Metronome moments, life dances with death
Cigarette smoke curls, a ghost doing ballet
Street corner poets, spinning yarns in the gray
Windows reflect truths we try to ignore
A city that loves you, then shows you the door
