Under the Streetlamp

[Verse] Walking down these cracked-up streets Echoes of the past stuck on repeat Shadows slip in and outta the light Just another downtown Saturday night [Verse 2] Old man whiskey with a shiver and a shake Talking 'bout the dreams he'd never wake Siren screams and whispers lost In a city where dreams have gone to frost [Chorus] Under the streetlamp a soul's gotta fight Holdin' onto memories tight Under the streetlamp hearts beat alone Left with a past they've outgrown [Verse 3] Hustlers peddle their lies and schemes Street poets pouring out broken dreams Kids with nowhere to go Searching for hope in the afterglow [Bridge] Neon lights in the pouring rain Truth and lies running down the drain Every handshake a gamble and a stake In a game where too much is at stake [Verse 4] Subway rumbles deep underground A lifeline for the lost and found Beneath the grime and the smog Beat the hearts of a rolling urban fog
