Aurelius Nocturne - Panic Bloom Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ninety-five degrees in East LA tonight
Luna's words echo like sirens in my mind
Recording stolen whispers through chain-link fences
While the city melts into concrete evidence

[Pre-Chorus]
Every factory breathes out death
And I can't catch my f*cking breath
Carlos said we're already dead
As the mariachi plays inside my head

[Chorus]
We're burning up, burning up, can't you feel it?
The asphalt's crying, mercury rising
I'm losing grip, losing grip, can't conceal it
While the world keeps dying, I keep driving

[Verse 2]
Got my stolen mic catching every sound
Of this city breaking slowly down
Mechanical hearts and industrial veins
Dancing at underground parties to numb the pain

[Bridge]
Heat wave's got me paranoid
Watching all our dreams destroyed
Every street corner tells the truth
That Luna spelled out in the booth

[Chorus]
We're burning up, burning up, can't you feel it?
The asphalt's crying, mercury rising
I'm losing grip, losing grip, can't conceal it
While the world keeps dying, I keep driving

[Outro]
The machines are humming our funeral song
While we pretend nothing's wrong
East LA's got fever dreams tonight
As we dance beneath toxic lights
Until we fade into the night
