Lyrics

They see a wasteland.
I see a rhythm.
They see the gray.
I see the glow.
It's all energy.
Just watch how I move.

Walking through the rain but I'm perfectly dry
'Cause I'm focused on the now, not the how or the why
The neon lights reflecting in a puddle on the street
Is a symphony of color for the rhythm of my feet
I'm not dodging the chaos, I'm joining the song
In the middle of the mess is where I belong
They call it a struggle, I call it a dance
Nothing in this city is a matter of chance
I'm the witness in the lobby, I'm the ghost on the train
I'm the silence in the middle of the heavy metal rain
Every siren is a note, every engine is a beat
I'm finding the heaven right here on the concrete.

It's the flow state, moving like a river through the stone
In a city of millions, I'm sovereign and alone
But I'm connected to the pulse, yeah, I'm tapping the vein
Finding the pleasure in the middle of the pain
Concrete tantra, yeah, I'm saying yes to it all
I'm the one who's rising even when I start to fall
Keep your eyes open.
Keep your heart fast.
Everything is moving, nothing's gonna last.

Don't leak the juice, yeah, don't waste the fire
On a temporary fix or a hollow desire
The energy is rising from the ground to the crown
I'm the only thing light in this heavy-duty town
They want me distracted, they want me annoyed
But I'm finding the beauty in the middle of the void
Total immersion in the act of the move
When the ego disappears, that's when I find the groove
I'm the skater on the rail, I'm the writer on the wall
I'm the presence in the moment, standing ten feet tall
No past in my pocket, no future in my head
Just the electricity of being not-dead.

Don't look for the sacred in a book or a cave.
It's right here.
In the exhaust fumes.
In the cold wind.
In the way the light hits the glass.
Be total.
Whatever you do, do it with everything.
The juice is the life.
Drink it.

It's the flow state, moving like a river through the stone
In a city of millions, I'm sovereign and alone
But I'm connected to the pulse, yeah, I'm tapping the vein
Finding the pleasure in the middle of the pain
Concrete tantra, yeah, I'm saying yes to it all
I'm the one who's rising even when I start to fall
Keep your eyes open.
Keep your heart fast.
Everything is moving, nothing's gonna last.

The dance never stops.
You just have to join in.
Presence...
On the concrete.
