Concrete Crown

(Verse 1) When the sun sets low, the shadows play, I walk these streets where the lost souls stray. Ladies in the night, whispering dreams, Hustling for the dollars, tearing at the seams. (Chorus) City rise, city fall, under a concrete crown, Where the drug is king, and hope’s wearing a frown. I’ve seen it all, every twist, every turn, In this empire of smoke, watch the bridges burn. (Verse 2) Remember Sarah with her bright red lips? She danced with danger, took a gambler’s risks. I’d hear her laughter, echo in the dark, But the night took her heart, left a permanent mark. (Chorus) City rise, city fall, under a concrete crown, Where the drug is king, and hope’s wearing a frown. I’ve seen it all, every twist, every turn, In this empire of smoke, watch the bridges burn. (Bridge) Tommy’s always scheming, chasing that high, In and out of trouble, he’s a thief in the sky. Once he was a friend, now he’s just a ghost, Living for the rush, but it’s his life he’ll toast. (Verse 3) Walking past the alley, where shadows meet, I took a different road, chose my own beat. I’ve seen dreams crumble, and rise from the ash, But we fight for the light, and we run from the crash. (Chorus) City rise, city fall, under a concrete crown, Where the drug is king, and hope’s wearing a frown. I’ve seen it all, every twist, every turn, In this empire of smoke, watch the bridges burn. (Outro) So here’s to the nights, when the world feels cold, I’ll hold on to stories, and the dreams that I hold. In this London town, where the lost souls roam, I’m searching for a way, to find my way home.
