Night City Eulogy

Hmm-mm, yeah

Feels like I'm searching for something
Or someone to come
Change up my life, shake up my vision
Uncover the sun
Gray is the veil of rain
A curtain that hovers in front
If uncertainty's a person then I'm dropping the cunt

I lost the only person that ever gave me direction
And you can't buy a cable to reestablish connection
When the chrome that you hold seems to amplify your reflection
The mirror holds many answers but I'm terrified of questions

Unsuspecting pedestrians, getting mowed down
On the crosswalk in the crossfire
Of a turf war in their own town
When it goes down, phantoms get abandoned
It's a ghost town
It's no wonder I'm alone now

Yeah, and in my heart there's a storm
Tornado burning, still in mourning for the parts that it cost
Homies run with the 9 iron, just par for the course
In the city of the night and it's still dark after dawn

Running on a timer, eyes on the twilight
Head in the clouds with a pocket full of diamonds
Looking for a spark? Then you should've brought a lighter
Aiming for the top, now we standing in the line-up
Running on the edge
Every time I think I'm fine, it all falls down again
Man, I'm running on the edge
I guess I know sometimes that it's all just in my head?
Man, I'm running on the edge

Man, I'm running on the edge
(Running on the edge)
Man, I'm running on the edge
Yeah

Life brain dancing in your vision (life brain dancing in your vision)
When you're born just to survive
Can you call it living? (can you call it living?)
Life brain dancing in your vision (life brain dancing in your vision)
When you're born just to survive

You got the eddies, you're getting rich
But there's an itch that the scratch it won't fix
Just keep a rack, drop a stack on a cold whip
And pretend you aren't going back to a lone crib

Yeah, how much chrome can I pump in my blood?
When will the steel that I'm wielding start to cover enough
Erase the ganic, forget the panic, cover it up
When did the feeling of real give to way to utterly numb?

I see it everywhere
But when I try and remember joy
Was it ever there?
Replace the ghost in the shell, upgrade it to better ware
Chooms were zeroed but well, it's like they were never there

Hugh, the bright lights disguise a fight with psychosis
Fire strikes at the night in a final try to be noticed
I am lying in sight of the truth, I find that it's coded
Doctor double my dosage

Running on a timer, eyes on the twilight
Head in the clouds with a pocket full of diamonds
Looking for a spark? Then you should've brought a lighter
Aiming for the top, now we standing in the line-up
Running on the edge
Every time I think I'm fine, it all falls down again
Man, I'm running on the edge
I guess I know sometimes that it's all just in my head?

Man, I'm running on the edge
Eyes on the twilight
Head in the clouds with a pocket full of diamonds
Looking for a spark? Then you should've brought a lighter
Aiming for the top, now we standing in the line-up

Running on the edge
Every time I think I'm fine, it all falls down again
Man, I'm running on the edge
I guess I know sometimes that it's all just in my head?
Man, I'm running on the edge

I am not myself (myself, myself)
I am not myself (myself, myself)
I am not myself (myself, myself)
I am not myself (myself, myself)
