After Midnight Grid

#cyberpunk #aimusic #cyberpunkmusic After Midnight Grid I’m standing still, beside the road The city moves, I let it flow Headlights stretch into long lines Like open wires crossing time Engines breathe, then slide away White and red refuse to stay I don’t walk, I don’t decide I watch the motion pass me by After midnight grid Carries me Soft and slow Through velocity After midnight grid Holds the street I stay quiet While it speaks Neon letters burn the rain Every sign repeats a name Food, escape, a better life All for sale, all shining bright People gather, smoke and wait Outside clubs, outside their gates Laughing loud, or saying nothing Eyes are empty, jaws are clenching Blue lights cut into the crowd Orders shouted, sharp and loud Bodies pushed back into lines Anger paused, but not denied No heroes here, no final sound Just control restoring ground Violence fades, not gone, just parked Sleeping underneath the dark After midnight grid Keeps it clean Pain reduced To levels safe After midnight grid Smooths the scene Nothing breaks Nothing escapes Factories light the edge of town Night shift pulls the shutters down Hands move fast, heads stay low Work goes on, nobody knows Above the street, silent glide Glass and chrome across the sky Flying past the noise below Never stopping, never slow After midnight grid Stay with me Hum me down To quiet sleep After midnight grid Don’t ask why Let the night Go passing by The moon stays high, indifferent Watching order settle in
