Shadows on the Block

Smoke clouds twist, alley cat hisses. Whispers in the dark stacking my digits. Shadows creep low where the night never listens. Rats run the holes, man chasing ambitions. Down the gutter where the moonlight stares. Cold steel reality, nobody cares. Dreams buried deep in the smoke-choked air. Living off the echoes of a nightmare's glare. Concrete jungle heart made of rubble. Soul sold cheap, pledged to the struggle. Flickering streetlights, city's lung buckle. Breathe in the chaos, mind's a puzzle. Down in the gutter where the moonlight stares. Cold steel reality, nobody cares. Dreams buried deep in the smoke-choked air. Living off the echoes of a nightmare's glare. Night swallowing light, silence runs deep. Clock strikes twelve, promises don't keep. Echoes in my ears, snakes always creep. Woke up in a storm, kissed the devil in My sleep. Down in the gutter where the moonlight Stares. Cold steel reality, nobody cares. Dreams buried deep in the smoke-choked air. Living off the echoes of a nightmare's glare. Glare. Of a nightmare's glare. Of a Nightmare's Glare.
