[Intro][Slow, gritty art-rock][Baritone Vocal]
The streetlights bleed a sickly hue
Another night, the city through
A whisper carried on the breeze
Of wilting flowers, dying trees

[Verse][World-weary Tone]
I see the cracks begin to show
In painted smiles, the seeds they sow
A fragile shell, about to break
For goodness gracious, pity's sake

[Pre-Chorus][Building Tension]
The air grows thin, the shadows creep
Secrets that the pavement keep
A fading light, a final sigh
As beauty learns it's time to die

[Chorus][Mournful Melody]
Oh, fragility, a whispered name
 consumed by the encroaching flame
 inevitability, a steady hand
across this weary, shifting sand

[Verse][Baritone Reflection]
The laughter echoes, hollow now
Beneath a sky that won't allow
A moment more of borrowed grace
Before time erases every trace

[Pre-Chorus][Sense of Resignation]
The colors drain, the edges blur
A silent, slow, impending stir
Of what must be, of what will fall
An answer to the final call

[Chorus][Melancholic Repetition]
Oh, fragility, a whispered name
 consumed by the encroaching flame
 inevitability, a steady hand
across this weary, shifting sand

[Saxophone Solo][Mournful, Melodic][David Bowie Style]
(Instrumental - Saxophone carries the weight of the emotion, weaving a tale of sorrow and acceptance)

[Bridge][Art-Rock Undertones]
We build our castles, tall and grand
On shifting dunes, on sinking land
A temporary, fleeting dream
Against the overwhelming stream

[Chorus][Final, Fading Echo]
Oh, fragility, a whispered name
 consumed by the encroaching flame
 inevitability, a steady hand
across this weary, shifting sand

[Outro][Fading Gritty Rock][Baritone Fade]
The sand... it slips...
A final breath...
The quiet creeps...
Towards the death...
[Fade Out]
