City Of The Lost ft. Terry Redherring Lyrics

In the City of the Lost is where I sold my soul

We submit to exhaust and trade it all for control

As the skeletons patrol for the time that I stole

Add the clock to the count of a rising death toll

I saw a man with no eyes in the sockets

Both hands in his pockets looking for his lost love

Mistook the black crow for a sullied white dove

And shook hands with the devil for an ounce of his blood

In the city of the lost, where nobody has a home

With a lone chrome drill digging holes in your dome

While you walk alone down the road made of hollow bones

One wrong turn and end up in the catacombs

Half-truths, or is it White lies

Mask the death of your pride with some bright white lines

Confined by the walls that pierce right through the sky

And is a hundred-thousand lows worth the wait for one high? (No)

And for just one time, I'll like to have a place that I can finally call mine

(is that too much to ask?)

And in the depths below, you can never find yourself if you never let go

(so let it go)

I left my heart burning in the city of the lost

I've been careful with the dribble now it's time for the exhaust

Between the legs, I cross while I activate the NOS

In the end, my pond frozen resurrected Jack Frost

Eight cold winters still got no sense of purpose

Steady climbing to the surface, never forfeiting a versus

Interluding in excursus meanwhile, I'm the ex she curses

Fill the pain up with catharsis, forty percent when I'm nervous

Validation? it's pathetic, crash and burning my kinetics

Fall temptation, copacetic; overturning all my ethics

Abandoning apologetic, taking off them cosmetics

Frustrations are aesthetic, it's exotic and poetic

Delusional coping as I suffer from reality checks

Self-indulge and do not judge insecurity depths

Grasp the cons, appreciate when the shiny reflects

Life's a bitch, gotta learn to play off of her strengths

And for just one time, I'll like to have a place that I can finally call mine

(is that too much to ask?)

And in the depths below, you can never find yourself if you never let go

(so let it go)

And just for one time, I wanna find a girl that I could call mine (it's impossible)

And in the depths below, I found my old self that didn't wanna grow (so I let him go)
