Heavy load, my shoulders creak, pressure speaking loud,
Family ties, work grind, got me lost in the crowd.
Clock hands spin, dragging chains, dreams on the floor,
I slip out the back door, can't take it no more.
Into the night, where shadows cradle my soul,
City whispers secrets, where broken hearts stroll.
Moonlight my accomplice, stars take their toll,
For a little while, let me lose control.
Hustle wears me thin, masks I wear start to crack,
Responsibilities claw, like vultures on my back.
Escape route mapped, through streets cold and gray,
Disappearing act, no words left to say.
Deep breaths in alleys, quiet hum of streetlights,
The echoes of my footsteps, the only thing that feels right.
The weight's still there, but for now, it's outta sight,
The solace of the darkness, my fleeting invite.
Into the night, where shadows cradle my soul,
City whispers secrets, where broken hearts stroll.
Moonlight my accomplice, stars take their toll,
For a little while, let me lose control.
I'll be back, yeah, sunrise'll see my face,
But tonight, I vanish, leave behind the rat race.
Dreams ride the breeze, scattered ashes in the air,
In the quiet of the night, find the strength to repair.
