Red Eyes on The Rooftops

They're watching
Every rooftop, every wire
Don't blink
Don't breathe
Just move

I feel the lasers on my back when I step outside
Like every shadow in the city wants to swallow my pride
They call it law and order: But the law's a disguise
A pretty word they hide behind while they weaponize spies
Drones hum like insects over midnight streets
Black vans parked up where the dead ends meet
You hear static on the lines when the rebels speak
'Cause the truth hits harder when the system's weak
They say I'm dangerous for raising my voice
But silence is a prison, and noise is a choice
If freedom was a gamble, then roll them dice
'Cause I'd rather die standing than pay their price

I see shapes in the dark
Signals in plain sight
Eyes that glow like sparks
On rooftops every night
If they come for me at dawn
I ain't losing this fight

Red eyes on the rooftops
They're aiming at the facts
Tracking every heartbeat
Mapping every act
Red eyes on the rooftops
But I won't step back
If they paint me as the threat
I'll be the wolf they can't catch

I hear boots in the alleys where the truth got bruised
Where the homeless prophets whisper what they always knew
Where the kids in broken schools learn the world ain't new
Just a loop of the few squeezing blood from the crew
They want a world where the poor stay quiet and blind
Where a badge is a crown and a law is a bind
Where the screens feed fear as a way to confine
Every free-thinking soul with a mind to unbind
But I walk with the ones who survived the parade
Who felt the system's weight and refused to obey
Yeah, we're hunted like ghosts in a city of prey
But even ghosts can haunt back when pushed that way

I see shapes in the dark
Signals in plain sight
Eyes that glow like sparks
On rooftops every night
If they come for me at dawn
I ain't losing this fight

Red eyes on the rooftops
They're aiming at the facts
Tracking every heartbeat
Mapping every act
Red eyes on the rooftops
But I won't step back
If they paint me as the threat
I'll be the wolf they can't catch

Whispers in the wires
Footsteps in the vents
Signals in the sirens
None of it makes sense
You can put me on a list
You can frame me as a threat
But a man with nothing left
Is the man you should never test

Red eyes on the rooftops
Let 'em watch me rise
I survived the parade
Now I open their eyes
Red eyes on the rooftops
Let 'em sharpen their lies
'Cause a rebel with a 'cause
Is a force they can't hide
Red eyes on the rooftops
