In the thrift store mirror
An old reflection stares back
Twenty years of dust and age
A stranger in familiar tracks
Embracing the midnight hours
Neon signs a glowing nest
Every stranger's unspoken tales
Echoes of a city's restless heart
And I wait for the morning light
When will dawn banish the night?
In the shadows, my heartbeat syncs
With the city's rhythm and its drone
Neon veins a pulsing glow
Pumping life below
Midnight convenience store
A plastic aisle of dreams gone cold
Empty bottles, crumpled bags
Temporary home but forever old
And I wait for the morning light
When will dawn banish the night?
Embracing the midnight hours
Neon signs a glowing nest
Every stranger's unspoken tales
Echoes of a city's restless heart
A bridge worn and rickety
Guarding hearts and fragile dreams
Whispers of a bridge's secret
The iron keeper of the stream
Neon veins the rhythm keep
In a city that never sleeps
And I'll wait for the morning light
When will dawn the night deliver?
