ALONE IN THE CITY Lyrics

I started writing a new symphony

From the sound of the cars

In the rain on the street

It used to be us then

But now it's just me

Tuning in, taking notes

From a broken TV

And the truth is that right now

I'm feeling caged

Against the conventional senses I rage

Making a statement on every page

But what does it prove?

Whose mind does that change?

I'm alone in the city

I'm alone in the city

I'm alone in the city

And nobodies coming for me

Days turn to weeks since

I've been checked out

Trying my best with

The weight of the doubt

That life is more than

Just a series of chains

That I put on myself

No one else to blame

And it feels like I'm stuck

In the state that i'm in

A drunken preacher

With no congregation

So I take my place

Among the autumn leaves

It's a failure to thrive

With a family to feed

I'm alone in the city

I'm alone in the city

I'm alone in the city

And nobodies coming for me

I'm alone in the city

And nobodies coming

And there's a man

On the corner

Screaming at me

Says that I am the problem

I guess I agree

So I reach in my pocket

To give him some change

And he pushes it back

Says, "it can't fix the pain"

"I'm alone in the city

I'm alone in the city

I'm alone in the city

And nobodies coming for me"
