Concrete Solitude

[Verse] Lights blurred through the window, sky painted steel gray, Concrete walls scream silence, it’s the urban way. No fields to wander, no dirt on my jeans, Just shadows in the alley and cold machine dreams. [Verse 2] The hum of the subway shaking my bones, Crowded streets feel empty when you’re alone. No pick-up truck to carry me away, I'm stuck amidst these towers, like it or not, I stay. [Chorus] City lights flicker, but the heart feels dark, Miss the sound of crickets and the dogs that bark. In these crowded sidewalks, I’ve found my space, Just me and my thoughts in this lonesome place. [Verse 3] Neon signs flashing, drawing me in, Lines of strangers, but I’ve got no kin. Coffee shop musings and a single bed, Concrete jungle’s got me feeling dead. [Bridge] Sometimes I dream of the fields back home, Where the sky met the earth, and I could roam. But here in the city, I stand all alone, Just a small-town soul, far from what I’ve known. [Verse 4] No barn to hide in, no fireflies at night, Just the hum of the streetlights, a pale glowing light. I used to hold hands under the wide open skies, Now it's crowded corners, with downcast eyes.
