Sirens bloom like poisoned vines
Glass confetti cuts the lines
A whisper cracks the TV glow
The night forgets what it should know

Curtains breathe, a shadow slips
Cigarette trembles on his lips
A door slams shut, a prayer misfires
One name burns and never tires

The bullet sang a lullaby the wind refused to carry home
While the Moon stood still, pretending it had never shone
The walls took witness, but their tongues were tied
Now the street just hums where a heartbeat died

Morning came with bitter grace
Blood still warm on yesterday’s face
The coffee steams, but no one stirs
Silence louder than it ever was

Neighbors talk in cautious tones
Building myths from shattered phones
Flowers wilt where flashlights fade
Justice sleeps in the mess it made

The bullet sang a lullaby the wind refused to carry home
While the Moon stood still, pretending it had never shone
The truth turned ghost in the light of dawn
And peace packed its bags and moved on

The bullet sang a lullaby the wind refused to carry home
While the Moon stood still, pretending it had never shone
The truth turned ghost in the light of dawn
And peace packed its bags and moved on
