Night Freedom

The city lights are flickering Yellow and white I’m the only shadow Moving through the night Put the volume up Let the playlist drown The silence of this Sleeping concrete town My hoodie up, hands buried In the pockets deep While the rest of the world Is lost in sleep I watch the traffic lights Change for no one there Just breathing in the Cold and empty air Just a simple man On a lonely road Carrying a heavy But invisible load With the rhythm in my ears I feel alive Forget the morning rush Forget the nine to five Am I a hero or Just a face in the crowd In this quiet place My thoughts are getting loud Walking through the void Beneath the neon beams Searching for the meaning In between the dreams Searching for the meaning In between the dreams Searching for the meaning In between the dreams I look up at the windows Dark and blind Wondering what kind of lives Are tucked behind Do they worry ‘bout the rent Or the price of bread Or all the words that they Have left unsaid We run in circles Chasing paper, chasing time Constructing reasons Just to make the ladder climb But here on the pavement Step by step alone I feel a little peace I’ve never known The bass kicks in It hits me in the chest Maybe this moment Is the ultimate test To be okay With being small To stand up straight And not to fall Just a speck Of dust under the galaxy But for tonight This music sets me free Searching for the meaning In between the dreams Searching for the meaning In between the dreams Searching for the meaning In between the dreams
