Streetlights bleed across the glass Another night refusing to pass I hear the engines underneath A restless pulse beneath my feet Faces disappear in passing cars Small lives moving under distant stars I keep my eyes on the empty road Trying to remember what I used to know There’s a pressure I can’t explain A taste of metal in the rain Every second feels too close Every answer feels exposed I’ve been living on the edge Of every word I never said Now the distance starts to close And something underneath me grows I feel it coming Through the concrete I hear it moving Underneath me No reassurance No easy exit I’m done pretending I don’t feel it Let the whole room shake Let the signal break I’ve got nothing to defend And nothing left to fake Every second cuts deeper Every breath hits harder I’m not looking for an answer I’m looking for the edge The city changes after midnight Windows flicker, then go dark Somewhere far beyond the skyline Someone else is falling apart I know the feeling in my chest When every thought becomes a threat But I refuse to make a home Inside the things I can’t forget No ceremony No explanation Just a body Against the vibration No salvation No revelation Only instinct Only acceleration I’ve been counting every second Watching everything shift Now the ground is moving faster And I’m moving with it Let the memory get heavier Let the past lose its shape I don’t need to become someone I just need to escape For every night I spent awake For every choice I couldn’t make For every version of myself I left somewhere on the way I hear the city breathing I feel the pressure underneath And for the first time in a long time I don’t need to understand One more step One more breath One more moment Before the fall I’ve got nothing But this heartbeat And right now That’s enough The lights return The streets remain Nothing changed Except my name I walk beneath the empty sky With no reason left to hide The night is still The air is cold But I am finally Moving forward
