The City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The City is cryin' nails of smoke, the host starts to get high… And high
A concrete cancer starts to spread, infecting thoughts to my head… In my head
I see the suicide open gates, plagues and pearls in this place… Face to face
A crystal ball has shown the way, a morphine bed to my pain… Just to say
I'm about to raise
I'm right behind you
And when things don't go so cool
I will find you
I'm a photograph
I will stay beside you
When you feel like you can't sleep
I will numb you
The City is cryin' nails of smoke, the host starts to get high… And high
A concrete cancer starts to spread, infecting thoughts to my head… In my head
I see the suicide open gates, plagues and pearls in this place… Face to face
A crystal ball has shown the way, a morphine bed to my pain… Just to say
I'm your broken heart
I will stay inside you
When the clouds begin to fall
I will dry you
I'm the chaos inside
I'm the void that silence you
When the hunter starts to shoot
I will hide you
The gamblers shuffle the cards of choices and luck that can change your life
The hunter lights a cigar, you got your time to choose if you're in or out
Hey! You gotta choose it now!
Hey! You gotta make it now!
