lyrics

Drove downtown to meet you
How I look down to greet your visage
Flushed in emotions, never ending
This disease of life, ever spreading

It's much colder up here
Remember how you could see your breath in the wind
I'm sure you loved that
But I can't be to sure what you love anymore

This city is overflowing
With death, scum, disease
I miss this city with all my heart
Kept me from the nightmares in my head

I see images of death
I see everyone I love dead

It's much colder up here
Remember how you could see your breath in the wind
I'm sure you loved that

And the more people killed, this city within
The more I feel comfortable in my own skin
Those dead and forgotten
To care just as we do, breathe in this cold air

Let it chill your lungs
It feels good to just let go
Don't feel sorry for yourself
If I can't smash your face myself
Let the smoke do it instead
My condition is wasting me away

Grab your shoes, we're going home
I don't know where I don't know how
But wherever we decide to end up now
Let's make sure the air is uneasy

You don't want comfort, you don't want peace
Then leave this city, then leave my home
Fuck you anyway, you were never there
A spirit, ghost of the past, flicker of hope

This city is overflowing
With death, scum, disease
I miss this city with all my heart
Kept me from the nightmares in my head

Drove downtown to meet you
How I look down to greet your visage
Sickly in image, rotting inside
You took my life and my city away from me
