[Verse] Neon flickers on the diner sign, Cold coffee cup, late night rewind, Greasy plates with syrup that stains, Waiting on the sun to ease my pain. Sidewalk’s empty, just me and my thoughts, Chasing beats that the silence caught, Cracks in the ceiling tell stories untold, While I’m scribbling lines in the early cold. [Pre-Chorus] Flick the ash, let the rhythm rise, City’s melting under crimson skies. [Chorus] Flipping pancakes before the dawn, Melodies in the dark, I’m holding on, Every bite, every line, feels like home, Before the sunrise, I’m never alone. Flipping pancakes before the dawn, Heart on the sleeve when the night is gone, In this diner booth, where dreams are drawn, Before the sunrise, I’m never alone. [Verse] Worn-out shoes tapping on cracked tile, Midnight hunger fuels the miles, Words come heavy, but the groove is light, Crafting verses in the fading night. Eyes half-closed but my mind’s awake, Pour another cup, for memory’s sake, Behind these walls, where the shadows play, I lay down truths that won’t fade away. [Pre-Chorus] Flick the ash, let the rhythm rise, City’s melting under crimson skies. [Chorus] Flipping pancakes before the dawn, Melodies in the dark, I’m holding on, Every bite, every line, feels like home, Before the sunrise, I’m never alone. Flipping pancakes before the dawn, Heart on the sleeve when the night is gone, In this diner booth, where dreams are drawn, Before the sunrise, I’m never alone. [Bridge] Shadows stretch but I’m standing tall, Silent witness to a rising call, In every pause, in every break, I find the strength to create and make. [Chorus] Flipping pancakes before the dawn, Melodies in the dark, I’m holding on, Every bite, every line, feels like home, Before the sunrise, I’m never alone. Flipping pancakes before the dawn, Heart on the sleeve when the night is gone, In this diner booth, where dreams are drawn, Before the sunrise, I’m never alone. [Outro] Neon fades as the day is born, But in my soul, the night’s not gone.
