Concrete veins, dry and cracked He’s pacing shadows, no way to retract A suit torn at the seams, eyes like glass Watching the ghost of the city pass He screams at the lamps, they don't give a shit A manic rhythm, a decaying fit Empty street, asphalt fire He's the king of the lonely wire Freaking out in the neon hum Wait for the beat, beat, beat of the drum Nobody's watching, nobody cares He’s dancing with demons up the stairs He pulls at his hair, talks to the curb Every stuttered word is an ugly verb Broken glass teeth in an alleyway grin The city’s hollow, the state he’s in He’s a live wire snapping in a hurricane wind Paying for sins he hasn't even sinned Silence weighs a thousand tons He’s running from ghosts with invisible guns Clock chimes strike, but the time is dead It’s leaking out from his fractured head Empty street, asphalt fire He's the king of the lonely wire Freaking out in the neon hum Wait for the beat, beat, beat of the drum Nobody's watching, nobody cares He’s dancing with demons up the stairs Just a man On an empty street Freaking out Gone. Gone. Gone.
