You can’t just let the city break your spirit
Like a nightmare's come that you can’t wake up from
You just grin and bear it
If you sober up long enough
Take your own advice and get the fuck outta this place
Your train of thought, it keeps getting thrown off
A bittersweet pill
You can feel the heat as it rises off the concrete
But you can’t shake this chill
Everyday feels the same, you ask yourself again
“What the hell am I still doing here?”
And even if autopilot is resisted
I swear these screws get looser by the day
I’m gonna take the only chance I have to live my life
This place will never take my soul
You can’t just let the city break your spirit
Like a nightmare's come that you can’t wake up from
You just grin and bear it
Sober up long enough,
Take your own advice and get the fuck outta this place
Everyday feels the same and ya ask yourself again
“What the hell am I still doing here?”
“What the hell am I still doing here?”
“What the hell am I still doing here?”
