24-Karat Midnight Detonation
by Glen
Lyrics
Intro
Gold dust
In my lungs
City hums
Then it jumps (hey!)
Verse 1
Twenty-four karat midnight
Grease on the high-rise chrome
Trash-fire halos flicker
Crown on a broken dome
Block hot
Pressure in the concrete
Pavement breathing
Ready to blow
Every shadow sharpening edges
Every sinner dressed in glow
Bodies pressed
Dirty on the stairwell
Backroom heat
Teeth flash
Slow grind
Bills like river over brickwork
Turn the gutter to a gold shrine
Chorus
This that 24-karat midnight
Whole damn city in combustion
Shockwaves tearing through the skyline
Heartbeat riding on the rupture
When that power hits
We don't hide
We turn panic into function
Watch this darkness drip in gold light
That's that sigma-level junction (yeah)
24-karat midnight
Let the pressure do the sculpture
Every crack in us ignites bright
We the blast
We the structure
Verse 2
Hyper-cars carve light through the smog sheet
Blazing trails
Snakes of molten code
Crowd jumps
Concrete starts buckling
Every stomp rewriting the road
Cash racks stacked like altars
Paper rain sticking to sweat
Neon crown on every lost one
Nobody counting regret
Pier crushed
Yachts in a haze ring
Lapping tide stained with glow
Glass clink
Grind on the railing
Dirty dance
Saints in the undertow (oh)
Chorus
This that 24-karat midnight
Whole damn city in combustion
Shockwaves tearing through the skyline
Heartbeat riding on the rupture
When that power hits
We don't hide
We turn panic into function
Watch this darkness drip in gold light
That's that sigma-level junction
24-karat midnight
Let the pressure do the sculpture
Every crack in us ignites bright
We the blast
We the structure
Bridge
Two of us stand in the crossfire
Eyes lit
Burning through the static
Every thought
Little live wire
Every word
Quiet automatic
You feel that turning of the pressure
Like the planet changing course
We just lean into the fracture
Ride the fault line to the source (woah)
Chorus
This that 24-karat midnight
Whole damn city in combustion
Shockwaves tearing through the skyline
Heartbeat riding on the rupture
When that power hits
We don't hide
We turn panic into function
Watch this darkness drip in gold light
That's that sigma-level junction
24-karat midnight
Let the pressure do the sculpture
Every crack in us ignites bright
We the blast
We the structure
