Sad City

I bite my tongue to keep me quiet
As they dig a hole in my chest

And every piece of me wants to fight it
When they say I can't feel I'm too blessed

And when I take a turn for the better
I still live with a safety net

How can I be living front and center
And only feel like a silhouette

Pull me down, pick me up
Send me a location
Anywhere that makes me feel something

I'm nervous and my hands are shaking
But I still don't want your saving

But that's what you get in sad city
Where hearts weigh heavy on the soul

And everybody's still here for the taking
While they sell us out for fame and fool's gold

But the best welcome you to sad city
Where we feel the illusion of control

And I know I'm too far gone for saving
But I'm easier to save when I'm alone

I'm stuck in sad city I don't mind it
And everybody wants to be the best

And every piece of me tries to deny it
As I put every feeling to rest

And everybody wants to get to all the answers
But we're too used to being silhouettes

Tell me how can we find something better
If we never try to reinvent

Pull me down pick me up send me a location
Anywhere that makes me feel something

I'm nervous and my hands are shaking
But I still don't want your saving

But that's what you get in sad city
Where hearts weigh heavy on the soul

And everybody's still here for the taking
While they sell us out for fame and fool's gold

But the best welcome you to sad city
Where we feel the illusion of control

And I know I'm too far gone for saving
But I'm easier to save when I'm alone

But that's what you get in sad city
Where hearts weigh heavy on the soul

And everybody's still here for the taking
While they sell us out for fame and fool's gold

But the best welcome you to sad city
Where we feel the illusion of control

And I know I'm too far gone for saving
But I'm easier to save when I'm alone

But the best welcome you to sad city
Where we feel the illusion of control

And I know I'm too far gone for saving
But I'm easier to save when I'm alone
