Footsteps whisper on the pavement cold Tired streetlights barely shining bold Seeking something in this silent town Lost in shadows where echoes drown Windows stare but they never speak Through empty streets where hearts are meek Chasing ghosts in the midnight haze Hoping for a look that stays City shadows hide the dreams we lost In the quiet We pay the cost Wander through this urban maze Still searching in a silent daze Moonlight dances on a cracked facade Silent alleys where my thoughts applaud Every corner holds a silent plea For a presence to be free Neon signs flicker like the past Promising moments that don't last In the void where whispers yearn For a response For a turn City shadows hide the dreams we lost In the quiet We pay the cost Wander through this urban maze Still searching in a silent daze
