RANDOM
APE

We draw our maps in splintered ink,
Borders carved where shadows sink.
Voices hum through static skies,
Each a truth, you’ve been sold a lie.
The pavement cracks beneath our weight,
A fragile world we can't escape.
Our hands reach out, but fingers miss,
Divided by the fucking abyss.

Chorus
Oh, we’re falling, falling through the seams,
Caught in echoes of forgotten dreams.
Can we mend the tear, can we find the spark?
Or do we drift forever in the dark?

The screens they glow, they pull us in,
A thousand tribes where wars begin.
Words like knives, they cut the air,
Building walls we can’t repair.
But in the silence, hearts still beat,
A fleeting pulse beneath the street.
If we could listen, could we see?
The threads that bind you to me.

Chorus
Oh, we’re falling, falling through the seams,
Caught in echoes of forgotten dreams.
Can we mend the tear, can we find the spark?
Or do we drift forever in the dark?

Outro
Together, together, we’re still here,
Together, together, through the fear.
Together, together, break the line,
Together, together, one more time.

A penny for your thoughts
The silence tears and claws
Like shadows on your skin
Holding tight to every sin

Caught in twisted reason,
Bound by heavy treason,
A heart out in the night

Can you feel it there?
The weight of all that’s broken
Every word unspoken
Another cross to bear

Chorus
And way beyond the desert sun
The darkness swallows whole
The echoes lost in everyone
As fire turns to coal

Reaching out for something more
But you’re tangled in the thread
Each step you take away
You’re pulled back in instead

There’s a chasm, wide and deep
Between who you are and who you keep
The mirror shows a stranger’s face
Drowning slow in empty space

Chorus
And way beyond the desert sun
The shadows claim their prize
No solace left, no place to run
Just stars in vacant skies

The city's heartbeat resonates so strange,
A twisted melody, a symphony of change,
In the midnight hour, it comes alive,
A world where desperate souls survive.

Neon shadows on the Avenue,
Lost hearts searching something new,
Through the twilight haze, as we find our way,
In this concrete jungle dreams decay

It comes alive, it comes alive, desperate souls survive.

Been places, done things, seen the unseen
The broken depths of humanity
Drifting as shadows we live in our time
With fate on our backs, behind a mask

As the sirens wail,
we dance in our state
In the dying embers of flames we embraced
Cut off from the past a lost cause in time
Fighting alone against the tide

In Philly’s veins, where the shadows weep,
A river of souls, where old ghosts creep.
Chasin’ lost dreams, time fades to gray,
3 AM’s cold, where the lost hearts stray.
Breath of the city, heavy with pain,
Saints and sinners carve paths through the rain.
Static, static, trapped in the haze,
Life’s a weight, countin’ down the days.

Chorus
Static, static, soul’s on fire!
Philly’s streets, they cut like wire!
Scream his name, defy the pain!
Break the silence, we’ll rise again!

Concrete and broken, hearts barely beat,
Machine keeps grindin’, no peace in the street.
Flood of the struggle, it pulls you below,
Back to the start, where the cold winds blow.
From the ashes you rose, to the dirt you’re bound,
Static, static, no hope to be found.
Chains of the past, they rattle and scream,
Lost in the dark, chasing ghosts of a dream.

Chorus
Static, static, soul’s on fire!
Philly’s streets, they cut like wire!
Scream his name, defy the pain!
Break the silence, we’ll rise again!

Bridge
Then a flash of blue cuts the crimson night,
My friend falls hard in the street’s cruel light.
Screams fill the air, then a silence so deep,
Stillness takes hold, where the angels weep.
Cold and abandoned, left to the dark,
World keeps spinnin’, no beat in its heart.
Static, static, life’s brutal trance,
Frozen in grief, no second chance.

Break / Solo

The fire consumes, but the world moves on,
A scream in my chest, though the voice is gone.
Caught in a dream, where I’m fallin’ apart,
You’re gone, my friend, and it breaks my heart.
Wake from the fall, let your spirit rise,
I see your face in these starless skies.
Static, static, I’m callin’ your name,
Philly’s streets won’t drown your flame.

Chorus
Static, static, soul’s on fire!
Philly’s streets, they cut like wire!
Scream his name, defy the pain!
Break the silence, we’ll rise again!
