(Verse – C, Am, Em, G)
In the heart of a concrete jungle, I found life (C, Am)
Beneath the shadows of skyscrapers, a writhing garden (Em, G)
Butterflies dancing in neon light, we’re to bloom in shadows (C, Am)
In our veins, the rhythm pulsates, echoes of the wild (Em, G)

(Chorus – F, C, G)
We are the seeds sown in the midnight hour (F, C)
To bloom in shadows, we found our power (G)
In the heart of darkness, we learn to fight (F, C)
Writhing Garden, we bloom at night (G)

(Verse – C, Am, Em, G)
In the silence of the city, we found a voice (C, Am)
A melody that echoes in its steel and glass heart (Em, G)
The moon’s our sun; the stars, our spotlight, we’re to bloom in shadows (C, Am)
In our songs, the whispers of the wilderness (Em, G)

(Chorus – F, C, G)
We are the seeds sown in the midnight hour (F, C)
To bloom in shadows, we found our power (G)
In the heart of darkness, we learn to fight (F, C)
Writhing Garden, we bloom at night (G)
