[Intro]
Power's out in Peckham tonight
Can't see shit through these broken lights
Marcus, I still hear your voice notes play
In my head, every f*cking day
[Verse 1]
Remember when we used to run these streets?
Two young souls with dreams to keep
Now your hospital bed's going dark
Flatline beeping, tearing me apart
Should've seen the signs in your eyes
When you told me 'bout them sleepless nights
Now the city's blacking out again
Just like how your heart stopped beating then
[Chorus]
Circuits breaking, friendship fading
Who remembers when the power goes out?
Memories flickering, life degrading
Your last breath still echoes through my doubt
Yeah, through my doubt
[Verse 2]
Grew up together, now we're worlds apart
You chose the needle, I chose the art
Every blackout brings me back to then
When machines kept both of us breathing, man
Premature birth, you were there day one
Now I'm watching everything come undone
Voice notes playing through distorted static
"I'm good bro" - that shit was tragic
Should've known better, should've seen it coming
When you stopped calling, I kept running
From the truth that was right in my face
Now you're gone without a f*cking trace
[Bridge]
Emergency broadcast tone in my dreams
Reality ain't what it seems
London's dying lights remind me of you
Everything I failed to do
[Chorus]
Circuits breaking, friendship fading
Who remembers when the power goes out?
Memories flickering, life degrading
Your last breath still echoes through my doubt
Yeah, through my doubt
[Outro]
Power's coming back on tonight
But you ain't here to see these lights
Marcus, I'm sorry I let you fade
Like these streets in this dark parade
Like these streets in this dark parade...
