[Intro]
Chrome in the sunrise
Glass grows like trees
Hum of the skyline
Soft on the breeze
[Verse 1]
Woke up on a rooftop garden
Vines on the billboard frame
Solar veins on the tower skin
Every window knows my name
Skyrail hums over mossy concrete
Kids on boards trace neon chalk
Dusty lot turned to food and flowers
Old world fading in our walk
[Chorus]
Future Greenstic City
Steel bones
Wild heart
Rooted in the rooftop
Glowing in the dark
Future Greenstic City
We build
We breathe
Brick by brick by blossom
You’re growing out of me
[Verse 2]
Café brewed from a rain tank
Mugs warm in recycled light
Screens show tides
Not stocklines scrolling
Forecast feels like we got time
Buses breathe little clouds of water
Murals climb up every wall
Power lines traded for climbing jasmine
Concrete learning how to fall
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Remember when the river choked?
Now kids skip stones where ships once broke
[whispered vocals] Listen to the rooftop bees
Tiny engines in the leaves
[build] If we can turn this rust to green
Maybe we rewrite everything
[Chorus]
