Painted Sky

[Chorus] Three PM, the station's packed, a concrete maze My backpack heavy, filled with cans, in a spray paint haze Got my name on the wall, a statement bold and loud Breathing in the fumes, lost within the crowd [Verse] Rusting tracks below, a symphony of grime Fluorescent lights are harsh, a constant, buzzing chime Sweat and paint combine, their scent hangs in the air Subway rumbles deep, a tremor I can bear These walls are my canvas, my voice in painted streaks Each tag a defiance, a voice for what silence keeps They want to box me in, a number, not a name But in this underground, I ignite my own flame [Pre-Chorus] Hear the footsteps coming, echoing down the stair No time for panic, no time to even care My hand moves faster now, the can begins to hiss This moment is mine, I won't concede to this [Chorus] Three PM, the station's packed, a concrete maze My backpack heavy, filled with cans, in a spray paint haze Got my name on the wall, a statement bold and loud Breathing in the fumes, lost within the crowd [Verse] They can chase me out, they can try to erase But the spirit of this art, you can never displace This is my territory, a message to the street Every stroke a heartbeat, a rhythm none can defeat This concrete jungle's mine, beneath the city's glare I leave my mark behind, a story I declare The rumble turns to roar, as the train speeds on by I'm just a phantom here, beneath a painted sky [Bridge] They think they own this space, with their uniforms and keys But art finds its own way, riding on the breeze A whisper in the tunnels, a shout against the gray I'm leaving my own truth, come what may [Chorus] Three PM, the station's packed, a concrete maze My backpack heavy, filled with cans, in a spray paint haze Got my name on the wall, a statement bold and loud Breathing in the fumes, lost within the crowd [Outro] You can't stop the aerosol.
