Heartless City

waking up today, again it's the pits
cause I watched too much late night TV
I forget the song I'm in the midst of humming to myself
how did it go again?
if I come to a stop, I'll get left behind.
What did I lose in this city, what was taken?
the sunrise paints the city red
a sight that since long before has never changed.

the dog next door, is yapping like crazy again
blowing through the peace held together by a wall, only a sheet thick
I make a mess of the room
and the world making an outrageous return
with gloom
hide the earth, a city where your shoes never get dirty
this city changed me, killed my heart
a sudden downpour, if it wets the city and me
I've known from the start, it was an excuse.

What makes me sad?
That I can't cry, I suppose.

the morning glow paints the city red
the days go on and on, I screamed for tomorrow
in a corner of this city I despise
I try, for the moment, to smile just a little
