A hummingbird’s shadow sliced through dawn
pockets empty yet eyes packed with midnight quartz
market’s gold teeth winked behind wheelbarrows
hunger wired my wrists to the burning dream of Enough
I slid through reed-thin alleys, each step a drumbeat choking on smoke
–CHORUS– Give me spark in a closed fist, blood ringing like coins
I break the seal, own the night, nothing else exists
— A stall keeper counted blessings like dominoes
his back turned, prayers curling above yams
my hand, a small hurricane, swarmed the copper fruit
something ancient cracked inside my chest’s mirror
coins sang down my arm, hot as bullets in July heat
street lamps blinked conspiracy
–CHORUS– Give me spark in a closed fist, blood ringing like coins
I break the seal, own the night, nothing else exists
— I ran till breath clanged like jail doors
each clang engraving a new shape of hunger
river under the bridge whispered back in vanished thieves
I flung the coins- they floated, moons refusing graves
pockets still felt heavier, swollen with echoes
guilt grew fangs, gnawing tendon and dream
–BRIDGE– World tilted, power tasted of rust and fireworks
rain carved bruises on skin, spelling mine mine mine
riches can whisper louder than sirens, yet never sleep
–CHORUS– Give me spark in a closed fist, blood ringing like coins
I break the seal, own the night, nothing else exists
–OUTRO– Morning arrived wearing police-tape colors
I faced the mirror, eyes soldered to the boy before the heist
his hands open, craving only music
I closed my fingers again, heard no lullaby- only metal still singing.
