Moth & the Lamp

[Chorus] Three AM, city corner glow Just me and the shadows, nowhere to go Overnight coffee, a bitter sweet taste AC unit hums, time I can't chase Window cracked open, a breath of the night Watching the moths drawn to pale street light [Verse] Ink bleeds on the page, a watercolor tear My sketchbook's a mirror, reflecting my fear Coffee's gone cold, a forgotten friend This lonely vigil, will it ever end? Digital clock ticks, a sterile sound While piano notes softly drift around [Pre-Chorus] The cafe cat sleeps, the day's work is done Abandoned umbrellas, beneath the setting sun Convenience store blue light, a sterile, cold gleam Lost in the static, a waking dream [Chorus] Three AM, city corner glow Just me and the shadows, nowhere to go Overnight coffee, a bitter sweet taste AC unit hums, time I can't chase Window cracked open, a breath of the night Watching the moths drawn to pale street light [Verse] My pen starts to blur, a watery line This suspended feeling, is it truly mine? No one to witness this silent ballet Just the hum of the city, fading away Each number a beat, a digital sigh As the world sleeps on, beneath a vast sky [Bridge] They flutter and dance, a desperate flight To a flame that consumes, in the fading light I sketch their last moments, a fleeting art Trying to capture the ache in my heart This quiet existence, a life unobserved A story untold, a truth unreserved [Chorus] Three AM, city corner glow Just me and the shadows, nowhere to go Overnight coffee, a bitter sweet taste AC unit hums, time I can't chase Window cracked open, a breath of the night Watching the moths drawn to pale street light [Outro]
