Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Black ink runs thin, another page gone
Histories buried, whispers in the dawn
Gold chains swing, but their weight feels heavy
Shadows on the block, turn dreams unsteady
[Chorus]
Black's fading fast, slipping through the cracks
Echoes in the alley, they ain't coming back
Built on bones, bricks and stolen chatter
They peel the paint, like the color don't matter
[Verse 2]
Voices muted, chalked out on pavement
Language stolen, now it’s engravement
Broken mirrors, the shards tell stories
Fingers trace dust where there once was glory
[Bridge]
What you preserve ain't on their list
Wipe out the roots, none exist
Erase the shade, leave the silhouettes
But ghosts fight back, place your bets
[Chorus]
Black's fading fast, slipping through the cracks
Echoes in the alley, they ain't coming back
Built on bones, bricks and stolen chatter
They peel the paint, like the color don't matter
[Verse 3]
Wardrobe all void, but drippin’ color
Cool breeze carries breath stolen from another
Shadows play tag, but the light ain’t fair
Try to snatch it back, holler if they dare
