[Verse] Step up on the grate, city’s pulse in my veins Sirens hum below, but I’m tuned to different strains Concrete jungle’s rhythm, heartbeat syncs with the night Eyes on the skyline, dreams lit sharper than the light Words like embers, spark in this chill air Rising through the smoke, got clarity to share Every line a ladder, climbing past the despair Hope on my breath, breathing in fresh prayer [Pre-Chorus] No chains hold me down, I’m breaking through the noise In the chaos, I’m calm, steady with my voice [Chorus] Fire escape cipher, rising up higher Voices blend in the night, fueled by desire Echoes of hope in the sirens below Standing tall, watch me glow, watch me glow [Verse] Skyline’s a canvas, painting words on the dark Every syllable a spark, lighting up my mark Pressure builds diamonds, pressure makes me bold Stories untold, in verses I unfold Cold wind tries to bite, but my spirit won’t freeze In the eye of the storm, I find my ease Words steady flowin’, like a river set free Cipher on the fire escape, that’s where I’ll be [Pre-Chorus] No chains hold me down, I’m breaking through the noise In the chaos, I’m calm, steady with my voice [Chorus] Fire escape cipher, rising up higher Voices blend in the night, fueled by desire Echoes of hope in the sirens below Standing tall, watch me glow, watch me glow [Bridge] Feel the pulse, heartbeat of the city’s soul Every line a spark to make the broken whole From the shadows, light’s what I compose Resilient flame, rising as it grows [Chorus] Fire escape cipher, rising up higher Voices blend in the night, fueled by desire Echoes of hope in the sirens below Standing tall, watch me glow, watch me glow [Outro] Sirens fade, but the fire remains bright Cipher on the grit, shining through the night Hope is the rhythm, resilience the flow On this fire escape, watch me glow, watch me glow
