[Verse 1]
Powerlines are screaming tonight
While I'm chasing dragons in fluorescent light
Sean found me face down on the floor
Another blackout, can't take anymore
Needle marks match the city's scars
Trading life for temporary stars
[Chorus]
System failure, in my veins
Grid's collapsing, feels the same
Black market salvation, yeah
Running through these dead-end streets again
F*ck your help, I'll fade away
Like these lights on my darkest days
[Verse 2]
Derek's got the juice to keep us alive
While Sheffield's heart stops beating tonight
Underground networks, deals in the dark
Trading watts and shots behind the park
City's withdrawing, just like me
Both of us slaves to what sets us free
[Bridge]
Adaptation through destruction
Sweet corruption
Systemic malfunction
No reduction
[Chorus]
System failure, in my veins
Grid's collapsing, feels the same
Black market salvation, yeah
Running through these dead-end streets again
F*ck your help, I'll fade away
Like these lights on my darkest days
[Verse 3]
One more hit before the power dies
One more chance to apologize
To all the faces I let down
While chasing shadows through this ghost town
But tomorrow's just another lie
When you're burning out to feel alive
[Outro]
Watch me crash and f*cking burn
Like this city, never learn
Like this city, never learn
Like this city, never...
