(Intro) I watch the city like a Drowzee in the rain Neon lights shine, but people’s eyes turn gray I walk alone, an empty Poké Ball in the night Even Snorlax couldn’t sleep through all this noise tonight (Verse 1) I grew up in alleys where dreams catch fire Where kids wanna shine without knowing what they truly desire We ran like Pikachu, hearts filled with electricity But time turns lightning into hidden scars eventually My brother wanted the strength of Machamp in every fight Me, I just wanted to escape like Abra when life ain’t right We carried invisible chains like Onix underground Digging our own graves just to find some light around I see Charizard burning just to impress the crowd Squirtle learning too young that life can drag you down Bulbasaur growing through concrete without sunlight Gengar hiding behind artificial smiles at night And sometimes I feel like Ditto Changing faces just to make it through The real ones disappear like Gastly In a generation turning humans into something cruel (Chorus) Kanto… Even the stars eventually fall We wanted to fly like Pidgeot above it all But our dreams fade away in the smoke of train stations And memories spin around like Gyarados in endless rotations Kanto… I hear regrets inside the evening wind The old ones still speak of heroes and victories within But behind the badges, the trophies, the mirrors we admire There are lost kids still searching for their fire (Verse 2) I’ve seen Meowth talking about love without giving any back Persian sleeping on abandoned stacks Koffing choking neighborhoods with poison in the air While the powerful still promise revolutions everywhere Eyes grow colder than Articuno Hearts break apart like old crystal turning blue And promises disappear like Vaporeon in the sea Every goodbye leaves bitterness inside of me We wanted infinity, Mewtwo inside our minds Building empires while leaving weakness behind But power makes you lonely when the night becomes real Even legends collapse when they forget how to feel So I write for the unheard souls out there The Marowak crying without showing despair For the Charmander keeping their flame alive in silence Even when life tries erasing their existence (Bridge) And if tomorrow everything fades away… Who will remember the promises we made? The roads we took without a map The battles we lost without collapsing back? I see a Butterfree dancing around the streetlights Like beauty could still save the world tonight But the world spins way too fast And our souls become satellites (Final Chorus) Kanto… We cross through seasons without knowing why Like a lonely Lapras drifting beneath the sky We all wanted to become masters someday But the real victory is surviving love anyway Kanto… Even legends turn into dust in the end Like Mew hidden somewhere beyond the light again And if life is only a battle we wander through blind Then I’ll keep moving forward through the fog in my mind (Outro) One last look toward the violet sky… The stars slowly fall over Viridian City… And our dreams still keep running… Like a lost Pikachu through eternity…
