City Symphony - from Witness Core Fragments I can’t sing… I can’t play an instrument… Yet— there is music in my head… waiting… to be free… The songs keep playing in my mind… I try… I try… to find an outlet… Engines hum in minor keys, Rain taps time on broken streets, Every sound becomes a beat — but I’m still silent. Let it out— let the storm inside me speak, Turn the noise into a symphony, Thunder writing melodies, This chaos wants to breathe. Sirens cry in distant tones, Metal hearts and concrete bones, The city plays what I can’t show— it sings for me. If I could break this cage of quiet, You’d hear a thousand violins in riot, Mozart drowning in the rain, Beethoven wired through steel and train. Let it out— let the storm inside me speak, Turn the noise into a symphony, the music trapped in me.
