City Lights Lyrics

One question, tell me where you're gonna sleep tonight

Right here under the city lights

A few friends still owe you favours

So couch surfing

Next meal is uncertain, your pride hurting

Left a trail of lies and the weights of the burdens

Pay cheques like a waste of breath, but breathe easy

Smell the taint of death

Living rough, yeah, living's tough

When you hide from your past, leaving lives in the dust

Yeah, six sides to a story

But sick minds can't find any glory

So move on with the fire you started

Wither away, these lies are departed

Tomorrow is a new day

So, new promises are made

Go to sleep, wake up

And just have a little bit of that to make the pain go away

I can see you sleeping there

Does anybody know your name

Does anybody really care

Does anybody feel your pain

Tell me how do you feel

Do you have memories still

Where you gonna sleep tonight

Right here under the city lights

Generational pain

All from a tainted bloodstrain

Dark days, mind play, I don't want it

But can I save my kids from it?

Is it learned or hereditary

I think I feel the darkness possessing me

They told me I'd be like you in the end

Homeless, no job and no friends

Hey, what's your address?

Can I pop past, get some stuff off my chest?

Oh, that's right, what's the point

I don't think that'd bring either of us any joy

Man to man, yo, I think I understand

Some of us aren't built to feed a clan

A day in your shoes and see how I go

That's a hard old life, what do I know?

They say you don't know what you got till it's gone

What if there was

What if there was nothing there in the first place

What if there's no home to find you at

I can see you sleeping there

Does anybody know your name?

Does anybody really care?

Does anybody feel your pain?

Tell me how do you feel.. Dad?

Do you have memories still? Dad?

Where you gonna sleep tonight? Dad

Right here under the city lights
