Streetlight Sonata: Eve's Cadence Lyrics

Before I even drop this knowledge, here goes the synopsis

A child lost outside her home, dealers see as a profit

A thousand thoughts begin to roam once she feels she's forgotten

Now she's searching for a love to confine inside those who's plotten

Self-harm always an option, but to blame others for problems makes it easy accepting outcomes

Natural born good girl, make this shadow scream, we've got one

Mama miss her daughter, but her pops ain't never want one

Run away with fake friends who were ready to drag her low

Saw the sorrow in her soul, then offered up a bag of dope

Fade away in cold alleys where she's haunted by the ghosts

And taunted by the hopes that her future self will behold

Reliving all the dreams of an innocent ten-year-old

Eve's barely sixteen, facing struggles few would know

Tap dancing on the edge of dark streets that use her soul

Don't realize that she's not alone

The time has come to change scenes or plan out her funeral

Lived her life under the streetlights, chasing eyes and feeling shame

Lost her innocence to battles by the track marks on her veins

Silent cries out for mercy, she's addicted to the pain

Hear the street calls getting louder as her soul begins to fade

Cracked smile, broken dreams, she can't hide the scars she claims

The world won't hesitate, she learned to hustle, play the game

Finding comfort in the darkness, now she's scared to try and change

Eve's cadence, heart of sorrow, but she's dancing with the flames

See the beauty in her smile, hide the pain that's deep within

Amused to have such friends that help escape abusive kin

She held on to the secrets, nervous who she should let in

There was a boy, let's call him Ken, swayed her to put down her defense

Started laughing, getting closer, opened up about parents

She learned that Ken was an orphan, over time learned to adore him

Unaware, it's all facade, he played the long game, it's alluring

Fast forwarding all her mom's calls she keep ignoring

Found pills in Kenny's jeans, thought she'd be gone by next morning

Frustrated with the pain and noticed her friends acting strange

Ken's manipulative, said you need true love inside your veins

So he heated up the needle, watched as Eve began to sing

Her eyes roll back, she fades is this happiness on her face

Laughing as they wait, remembering their own first taste

Sold her soul for sweet escapes from so-called friends who weave in hate

Eve traded dreams away to fill a needles warm embrace

Lived her life under the streetlights, chasing eyes and feeling shame

Lost her innocence to battles by the track marks on her veins

Silent cries out for mercy, she's addicted to the pain

Hear the street calls getting louder as her soul begins to fade

Cracked smile, broken dreams, she can't hide the scars she claims

The world won't hesitate, she learned to hustle, play the game

Finding comfort in the darkness, now she's scared to try and change

Eve's cadence, heart of sorrow, but she's dancing with the flames

Chasing love down broken bottles, stories written in despair

You see the bruises tell her battles, but her voice was barely heard

Abused in this relationship, used fists instead of words

She's cradling in her belly, looking down at a new world

She's stashed a bit of money, Kenny's high, that means no worries

Every needle in her veins, now betraying her sanctuary

She tried to cut the dope, still popping pills when she feels low

The girl she used to know has become one of those ghosts

Her swollen wound whispers, where her heart won't even dare

Mama, break the cycle now, or we're both gonna stay ensnared

As she's lifting up her head to notice Kenny standing there

He offers her a hit, she shakes her head, I gotta go

Grabs her key, starts packing clothes, but he won't open up the door

Locks herself inside the room, starts climbing out of that window

Can't let her child die, so to risk it all, but it's worth

Her last chance at redemption, this could be her own rebirth

Lived her life under the streetlights, chasing eyes and feeling shame

Lost her innocence to battles by the track marks on her veins

Silent cries out for mercy, she's addicted to the pain

Hear the street calls getting louder as her soul begins to fade

Cracked smile, broken dreams, she can't hide the scars she claims

The world won't hesitate, she learned to hustle, play the game

Finding comfort in the darkness, now she's scared to try and change

Eve's cadence, heart of sorrow, but she's dancing with the flames
