[Intro]

This city’s fucked, man

It’s a goddamn graveyard

Where the fuck did it all go wrong?

The streets used to scream, now they whisper

Concrete don’t lie

But it sure as fuck remembers


[Verse 1]

Concrete jungle’s dead, veins turned to rust

Shattered glass on the pavement, dreams turn to dust

Streetlights flicker like they’re givin' up hope

This city’s a bitch, and I’m barely afloat

Fuck the skyline, now it’s crooked and torn

Like promises made that were never reborn

I’m walkin’ through ruins, this shit’s a grave

But I’m laughin’ at the echoes screamin’ “who’s gonna save?”

Fuck your gods, your prayers, your fake-ass truths

They sold the dream cheap, now we payin’ for proof

I’m the voice in the wreckage, spit venom and rage

This city’s dead quiet, but I’m still on the stage


[Chorus]

Echoes in the concrete, the silence shouts loud

Lost in the ruins, no faces, no crowd

Skies turned gray, but my soul stays proud

I walk through the echoes, ain’t bowin’ down now


[Verse 2]

Fucked-up payphones, nobody callin’ back

Spray-paint prophets screamin’ “fuck the system” in black

Rats rule the kingdom, roaches hold the crown

These streets ain’t breathin’ but they ain’t backin’ down

Rust drips like blood where steel beams broke

I inhale the ash while the city still chokes

And they wonder why we’re pissed, man, look at this shit

Dead malls, burned walls, now we’re born misfits

They built this empire on lies and greed

Now the cracks run deep where the truth used to bleed

I’m screamin’ in the silence, till I tear this apart

If the city’s a grave, I’m the ghost with a heart


[Chorus]

Echoes in the concrete, the silence shouts loud

Lost in the ruins, no faces, no crowd

Skies turned gray, but my soul stays proud

I walk through the echoes, ain’t bowin’ down now


[Bridge]

These streets bled dreams, now they’re just bones and scars

But fuck it, scars are where the truth gets born

They say this place is dead? Nah

It’s just quiet, waitin’ for a voice to tear it apart


[Final Chorus]

Echoes in the concrete, the silence shouts loud

Lost in the ruins, no faces, no crowd

Skies turned gray, but my soul stays proud

I walk through the echoes, ain’t bowin’ down now

Fuck this place

Still here, motherfucker

Echoes in the concrete, the silence shouts loud

Lost in the ruins, no faces, no crowd

Skies turned gray, but my soul stays proud

I walk through the echoes, ain’t bowin’ down now


[Outro]

Yeah

The city’s fucked

But I’m still here
