wheels spin on cracked pavement, shadows chase my breath,
late nights, heartbeat synced with the city's unsettled death.
eyes flicker to the rearview, memories lane collide,
a fortress built from bruises, but inside i’m torn, divided.
cold spray from the hydrant, streets whisper blistered tales,
trust shattered like glass shards, leaving bloodstains in the trails.
another corner, another face, but none feel close enough,
running from the weight i carry, these scars are jagged, rough.
pour up strength in hollow cups, numb the ache beneath the skin,
caught between the lines of loss and where the light has never been.
i lace my words with caution, but the silence screams the truth,
a storm behind my eyes that i can't untether or soothe.
i'm just a street runner, chasing shadows in the dark,
with a heart made of ash and a fire that leaves its mark.
can't stop the thunder rolling deep beneath my chest,
running wild, running broken, damned to never rest.
street runner energy, fuels the fight inside of me,
a soldier without armor, searching for what can't be seen.
feet pounding empty avenues where trust is just a myth,
lost friends like autumn leaves, fading into the abyss.
lips press tight on silence, hiding cracks from time's decay,
every step a gamble, fences lined with yesterday.
neon scars paint stories on walls that no one reads,
loneliness the dealer that stacks my debts with quiet needs.
heartbeat syncopated to the rhythm of my pain,
echoes of your promises still burning like a stain.
pour up strength in hollow cups, numb the ache beneath the skin,
caught between the lines of loss and where the light has never been.
i lace my words with caution, but the silence screams the truth,
a storm behind my eyes that i can't untether or soothe.
i'm just a street runner, chasing shadows in the dark,
with a heart made of ash and a fire that leaves its mark.
can't stop the thunder rolling deep beneath my chest,
running wild, running broken, damned to never rest.
street runner energy, fuels the fight inside of me,
a soldier without armor, searching for what can't be seen.
under streetlamps flickering like faulty memories,
i’m folding into the night where no one really sees.
tread softly on this concrete heart, worn thin and frayed,
beneath the grit and grind, there's a man betrayed.
faint glimmers break the black, whispers quiet and slow,
hope’s a stranger walking through the storm’s undertow.
i'm just a street runner, chasing shadows in the dark,
with a heart made of ash and a fire that leaves its mark.
can't stop the thunder rolling deep beneath my chest,
running wild, running broken, damned to never rest.
street runner energy, fuels the fight inside of me,
a soldier without armor, searching for what can't be seen.
night swallows the city whole, i fade into the strain,
still chasing who i used to be, running through the rain.
street runner forever, scars inked deep in my skin,
the race is endless, but i’m fighting to begin again.
