Neon rain crawls down the glass tonight
Chrome teeth shine under camera light
Sirens bloom red in the alley steam
The skyline edits another dream
Cold wires hum under concrete skin
The doors lock soft, let the night slip in
The city won't confess
It powders up the mess
Red eyes above the street
Still we move our feet
Chrome pulse, a guilty glow
Dance like we do not know
Billboards blink false through the diesel haze
White noise stitched through the underpass maze
Black cars slide past with their windows sealed
Every face learns how not to be revealed
Streetlights buzz like a lie on loop
We spin below their electric scoop
The city won't confess
It powders up the mess
Red eyes above the street
Still we move our feet
Chrome pulse, a guilty glow
Dance like we do not know
In the mirrored dark we sway
Data snow eats the names away
Steel hearts beat under the bass
No one speaks, but they know the place
Hands up, shadows on the wall
If it saw everything, it saw us fall
The city won't confess
It powders up the mess
Red eyes above the street
Still we move our feet
Chrome pulse, a guilty glow
Dance like we do not know
