The City is Killing Me Lyrics

Lights, fall into my hungry eyes

If only I could see the signs

The feeling I've believed in is a lie

So where to go

With all this pride

Nowhere to hide

It's not like I can take my time

Because the city is

Killing me slowly

Stealing my soul

Delirious

From holding on tight

To hope, I just can't let go

Because it's all I know

So breathe it in

Just breathe it in

Lights, chasing out the dark all night

Beneath them I

I need no guidance

Relying

On noise to fill the silence

All of us just trying to stay alive

But all that pride

You got inside

It isn't going to keep you warm at night

Because the city is

Killing me slowly

Stealing my soul

Delirious

From holding on tight

To hope, I just can't let go

Because it's all I know

So breathe it in

Just breathe it in

Keep in mind

Don't slow down or

Stop for breath or

You will be

Left behind

Just another hopeless artist

Who got lost in lights

And slowly died beneath them

Nothing ever came from crying

You gotta put it back together

Keep trying

If it isn't getting better

And it's looking like you're never gonna get it

In the back of your mind

Well, if you feel like giving up

Why hide it

The city's gonna eat you alive, kid

But there's something about these lies

That just won't let me quit

Another night

Beneath these lights

Is this my life

Am I alive

Or just dying slowly

I've got too much pride

It's not like I

Can take my time

When the city is

Taking back my soul

I just can't let go

Cause it's all I know

So breathe it in

Just breathe it in

Because the city is

Killing me slowly

Stealing my soul

Delirious

From holding on tight to hope

I just can't let go

Cause it's all I know

So breathe it in

Just breathe it in
