"The City" lyrics

"The City"

Take me to new heights
Far away from the city lights
I fucking hate this town
It only brings me down
Do you remember when there were endless possibilities inside us

This city tears us apart

Tell me how the broken mend
I want to hear again
Walk me to the bitter end
Somewhere to rest my head

Show me where the edges blend
I cannot see, my friend
Walk me to the bitter end
Somewhere to rest my head

My fucking head
The boredom
The apathy
Weaved its web inside me
It helped me sleep
Through the afterglow

These buildings look
All the fucking same
Forget my face
Forget my name
If there's nothing left here
Then let me slip away

Slow violent flow
Through the afterglow
I don't belong here

So take me to new heights
Far away from the city lights
I fucking hate this town
It only brings me down
Do you remember when there were endless possibilities inside us

I see all the evil
Please take me away from this place and it all
(This city tears us apart)

This city tears us apart

Everything feels broken here
Don't say that it's all in my head
There's still a million things that I have to do
Before I'm fucking dead
You could be whoever the fuck you have to be
You can be this city
But this is my choice
This is my time
This is my world
This is my life

Tell me how the broken mend
I want to hear again
Walk me to the bitter end
Somewhere to rest my head
Show me where the edges blend
I cannot see, my friend
Walk me to the bitter end
Somewhere to rest my head
