City Burns

The scent of momentum fills the city air

Hear the heartbeat, it's alive and draws you in

Things will never be the same

Thought I'd been here, but never here, times before

Then a rollercoaster dipped, and sped along no more

But I'm not in the same space

'Cause I'm hardly the woman that I once was

Now I search for the ground underneath my feet

As the city burns, as the city burns

Ooh, as the city burns

Ooh, as the city burns

Ooh, as the city burns

Burn away, burn away

Now it's fancy ladies, pricey wiles, and argyle

From homemade beats, sellin' tee's, and runnin' wild

Just hope I don't lose my head

Now I'm thinkin' on a dream that my sister had

Back then, I was too young to see it wasn't bad

So thanks, chick, by the way

'Cause I'm hardly the woman that I once was

Now I search for the ground underneath my feet

As the city burns, as the city burns

Ooh, as the city burns

Ooh, as the city burns

Ooh, as the city burns

Burn away, burn away

We're at a run right now

Before, we were at a steady jog

I'm tryin' to hang on to whatever I can find

'Cause what do you do when you're spinnin' so fast?

How do you stand with the world on your back?

I'm hardly the woman I once was

Search for the ground underneath my feet

As the city burns, as the city burns

Ooh, as the city burns

Ooh, as the city burns

Ooh, burn away, burn away
