this would be a very pop-punk beat with lots of power chords.
also this is the cheesiest thing I have ever written

Hello Empty City, how have you been?
No, you’re not alone, however it may seem
But always remember your troubles are never over
It’s persevering through them that separates you from a poser

Every time
You know I’ve seen you before
On the streets
You know I’ve heard you before

So lend me your ears, hear this PSA
There is always hope, no matter what they say
This is how we fly
Look to the light and you won’t die today

There was the good news now turn to the bad
The ones in the city are not what they seem
Don’t think you’re a fool for having been had
Just get out of there faster than a dream

Every time
You know I’ve seen you before
On the streets
You know I’ve heard you before

So lend me your ears, hear this PSA
There is always hope, no matter what they say
This is how we fly
Look to the light and you won’t die today

Leave the Empty City, there’s nothing there
Nothing but darkness behind smiling masks
Walk down the road you came
Fly away even though you’re scared

So lend me your ears, hear this PSA
There is always hope, no matter what they say
This is how we fly
Look to the light and you won’t die today
