3. Song Title: “City of Twisted Shadows”

4. Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Walking alone on the pavement, under the city of twisted shadows,
In the echoes of laughter and sorrow, I search for tomorrow.
The neon lights flicker, they beckon, painting a portrait of hope,
In the dance of the strangers, and the tales of the wanderers, we cope.

Chorus:
In the city of twisted shadows, we learn to live and love,
In the corners of despair and hope, we find the strength to rise above.
In the city of twisted shadows, we find our lavish understanding,
In the melodies of the night, in the rhythm of the heart, we are expanding.

Verse 2:
The rain washes away the reflections, under the city of twisted shadows,
In the silence of the alleys, the rhythm of the city, it grows.
The skyscrapers whisper secrets, in the language of the stars,
In the cityscape of dreams, we heal our broken hearts.

Bridge:
In the city of twisted shadows, we find our song,
In the symphony of life, we find where we belong.

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro:
Under the city of twisted shadows, we shine, we rise,
In the lavish understanding, we wear our truth, our disguise.

5. Chord Progression: The song follows a chord progression of Em – D – G – C in the verses, G – D – Em – C in the chorus, and Em – C – G – D for the bridge.
