The City Consumes Us

Streets like the rest of them but i can't forget
Faces familiar and full of regret
I hated this place
And all who came from it
Far form the scenery far from the road
Far from the greenery lifted my load
We borded the train to come back again
I was convinced in my mind
I was not of this kind
Faced with banality
I choose colamity
See us
Watch how the city consumes us
Watch how the city destroyes us
Prices i'm happy to pay
Walking on pathways i walked with my friends
Year in that some of them have met bitter ends
How can you concieve
Your friends will be grieving for you
Running from memories a lonely tonite
Doesn't make remidies they still survive
I hated this place
And i have conform it
I was convinced in my mind
I was not of this kind
Faced with reality
I choose revolity
See us
Watch how the city consumes us
Watch how the city destroyes us
Cost i am happy to pay
See you comming near
See you walking close to me
Fear inside my head
Fear is never far from me
Walk you in the side
Walk you in the day we met
We will disappear
We will reappear
We can disappear
We can reappear
See us
Watch how the city consumes us
Watch how the city destroyes us
Prices i'm happy to pay
