Verse 1:
Bright lights flicker through our windowpane
Concrete jungle, heartbeat like a chain
Morning coffee, same old grind
Lost in the motion, no escape to find
Pre-Chorus:
Neon nights calling, but I'm stuck in place
City shadows falling, can't erase your face
Chorus:
Caught in the City We Built
Our love's a prison, all the dreams we killed
Twisted alleys, under twilight's quilt
Caught in the City We Built
(Music Break - Build and Beat Drop)
Verse 2:
Rush hour chaos, bodies in the street
Echoes of laughter, feels like defeat
Silent dinners, TV screen's our light
We play our roles, each and every night
Pre-Chorus:
Neon nights calling, but I'm stuck in place
City shadows falling, can't erase your face
Chorus:
Caught in the City We Built
Our love's a prison, all the dreams we killed
Twisted alleys, under twilight's quilt
Caught in the City We Built
(Music Break - Build and Beat Drop)
Bridge:
Empty conversations, voices in my head
Haunted by memories, the words left unsaid
The skyline's our cage, no key to be found
Torn between staying and the final breakdown
Chorus (Extended):
Caught in the City We Built
Our love's a prison, all the dreams we killed
Twisted alleys, under twilight's quilt
Caught in the City We Built
Outro:
Neon nights fading, heartbeats take flight
Breaking through shadows, into the night
Caught in the City We Built, but no more to stay
I find my courage, and walk away
(Music Outro)

Progressive dark edm song about a guy who feels trapped in his relationship. He feels trapped in their daily habits, caught in being the person he is with her, tangled in a whole life he doesn't know how to begin leaving. It's tearing him apart. Use figurative language, but also describe his life as a normal city dweller's life. Include multiple music breaks including a build and beat drop at least twice. The first line of the chorus should only be the song's title: "Caught in the City We Built"
