The City Sees Me

I walk the blocks like they owe me something
(Every step says: I'm becoming)
Reflections watch from mirrored glass
(This city's cold, but I won't pass)

Faces blur, but mine stays sharp
(My voice is quiet, but it leaves a mark)
I blend in shades of night and steel
(Pretending not to care is how I heal)

They scroll and swipe, they speak in signs
(I write my truth between the lines)

Oh, the city sees me, I'm not afraid
(In every shadow, I've left my name)
Oh, the city sees me, don't look away
(I'm still standing, I won't fade)

Oh, the city sees me, I'm not afraid
(In every shadow, I've left my name)
Oh, the city sees me, don't look away
(I'm still standing, I won't fade)

My dreams don't fit these crowded halls
(But I still climb, despite the falls)
No crown, no throne, just heart and fire
(My steps are scars, my pulse is wire)

Oh, the city sees me, I'm not afraid
(In every shadow, I've left my name)
Oh, the city sees me, don't look away
(I'm still standing, I won't fade)

Oh, the city sees me, I'm not afraid
(In every shadow, I've left my name)
Oh, the city sees me, don't look away
(I'm still standing, I won't fade)
