Phantom Paths

Yeah. Creeping in the dark, no Batman, Just Bane. Broke dreams scatter, shards in the rain. City sleeps uneasy, breaths feel strained. Corner store chatter, shadows entertain. Rusty blade flows like water through the veins. Money stacks crooked, tied with bloody chains. Back alleys whisper truth, cryptic claims. Every step echoes, graffiti stain names. Can't escape the shade, tryna outrun fate. Clock hands ticking but it's far too late. The streets keep talking, secrets cascade. Night turns predator, we pray till we fade. Can't escape the shade, tryna outrun fate. Clock hands ticking but it's far too late. The streets keep talking, secrets cascade. Night turns predator, we pray till we fade. Tires screech, metal bites the cold ground. Sirens sing death's lullaby, no sound. Every soul hides sins, profound, unbound. Black mist rises where light ain't found. Nine to five, don't live here, just schemes. Dreams get pawned for dime bags and lean. Under streetlights flicker, life's routine. Elders warn kids but they glued to the screen. Can't escape the shade, tryna outrun fate. Clock hands ticking but it's far too late. The streets keep talking, secrets cascade. Night turns predator, we pray till we fade. Can't escape the shade, tryna outrun fate. Clock hands ticking but it's far too late. The streets keep talking, secrets cascade. Night turns predator, we pray till we fade.
