Crack Rocks and Cranberries

[Intro] [Verse 1] Beneath the neon’s hollow glow, Crack rocks spark on frozen snow. A city breathes in fractured sighs, While cranberries bleed through winter’s eyes. A girl with lips stained midnight red, Sells sweetness wrapped in threadbare thread. Her pockets hold both vice and vow— One for the high, one for the now. [Chorus] Crack rocks and cranberries, Two worlds split by the same cold trees. One burns a path, one stains the ground— Survival’s taste is never found. [Verse 2] The dealer hums a lullaby, Of shattered glass and angels’ cries. His hands, they shake like autumn vines, But cranberries ferment into wine. A mother prays in tongues of smoke, Her Bible bent, her heart half-broke. “Forgive the hunger, forgive the sin— Let mercy crack the frost within.” [Bridge] The river whispers, black and deep, Where lost souls trade their dreams for sleep. Cranberries float like lanterns bright, Guiding the lost through endless night. [Chorus] Crack rocks and cranberries, Two shades of dusk, two twisted keys. One steals the sun, one clings to thorn— A harvest where the damned are born. [Outro]
