Lyrics

[Verse 1]
THIS TOWN HAS ITS CLAWS BURIED IN MY NECK
THIS TOWN, IT TAKES LIVES WITHOUT MERCY
WITHOUT HATE
[Verse 2]
The streets are in distress
The sun suffocates behind darkened skies
[Verse 3]
THE GRASS IS GROWING ON TOP OF MY FEET
I'M SINKING, WON'T BE LONG BEFORE I'M TOO DEEP TO RUN
[Verse 4]
The lineup seems endless
Underneath the salvation signs
[Verse 5]
WE ARE THE DEAD ONES
WE ARE THE LOST CAUSE
WE ARE THE BEND BEFORE THE BREAK
OUR STEPS SEAL OUR FATE
[Verse 6]
Because this city
The city is haunted
By ghosts
From broken homes
Because this city
The city is haunted
There's no hope
Left for these souls
[Verse 7]
EVERY STEP I TAKE, I LEAVE A SMALL PIECE
OF MYSELF BEHIND
SOON THERE WILL BE NOTHING LEFT
[Verse 8]
The cracks in the pavement
Match the cracks in their weathered skin
[Verse 9]
THE SKY'S A BRICK WALL
THE GROUND'S A JUGGERNAUT
EACH DAY THEY GET A BIT CLOSER
BETWEEN THEM, I AM CAUGHT
[Verse 10]
I stare in amazement
I can't believe this is where I live
[Verse 11]
EVERY BREATH I TAKE, I FEEL MY LUNGS SEAL
THIS BREEZE FEELS MORE LIKE SHARDS OF GLASS
I'M MORE SCARS THAN SKIN
[Verse 12]
Because this city
The city is haunted
By ghosts
From broken homes
Because this city
The city is haunted
There's no hope
Left for these souls
[Verse 13]
OUR STEPS SEAL FATE
OUR STEPS SEAL FATE
[Verse 14]
THIS IS OUR CELEBRATION
COME JOIN THE LOST SOULS
THIS IS OUR CELEBRATION
COME JOIN THE LOST SOULS
[Verse 15]
The city
The city is haunted
[Verse 16]
OH
WALK WITH US
OH
DOWN
WALK WITH US
[Verse 17]
This city
The city is haunted
By ghosts
From broken homes
Because this city
The city is haunted
There's no hope
Left for these souls
