Drowning In Light Vellum Void

Neon writing my name on the wall in the rain
Million faces around me, but none know my name
I'm a shadow that's walking on streets paved with light
Just a ghost in the static, invisible tonight

Headlights bleeding through windows, I count them like sheep
Every face in this city's got somewhere to keep
But I'm just passing through like a smoke in the air
Take a number, take a seat — no one's checking who's there

Concrete river beneath me, I'm drowning on land
Every stranger's a current I can't understand
I've got numbers in my phone but no one to call
Got a thousand connections and no one at all

Watch the skyline like heaven, but heaven's not home
Just a postcard of distance, a beautiful dome
I'm the static between signals, the gap in the noise
Just an echo of someone who once had a voice

I'm a light in the skyline that nobody sees
I'm a voice in the static, lost in the freeze
Concrete and chrome, but I'm hollow inside
A city of strangers, and I'm just a tide

Tell me I'm real, tell me I'm here
Or am I just static, dissolving in fear
I'm drowning in faces, but I'm dying alone
This city's my body, but it's not my home

Every billboard's a mirror that don't show my face
Every train that goes by is an empty embrace
I keep walking in circles through streets I don't know
Looking for something that left long ago

The city don't sleep, so I don't sleep either
Just a pulse in the static, a flicker, a breather
I'm a name on a list that nobody calls
I'm an echo that's bouncing off glass and stone walls

I'm a light in the skyline that nobody sees
I'm a voice in the static, lost in the freeze
Concrete and chrome, but I'm hollow inside
A city of strangers, and I'm just a tide

Tell me I'm real, tell me I'm here
Or am I just static, dissolving in fear
I'm drowning in faces, but I'm dying alone
This city's my body, but it's not my home

Swallowed by the skyline
Buried in the noise
I am just a signal
Lost among the voice
Nobody is looking
Nobody can see
I am just a ghost now
Walking through the city
