Cockfight

I own this city
Look at what they've done to me
I've come back for what's rightfully mine
Where I come from, you always get what you deserve

It seemed as if you could see me
It seems like some can feel me
It's almost like you could hear me
Screaming, saying

Look at what I've built
Look at what I've done
I'm all of this and what I'm capable of
Because you stopped, you didn't turn
I would have whispered my life into yours

My teeth are splintered, my suit is torn
Right here is where I scratched my name into the earth
Right here is where my legend is borne
I'll be dead and gone before my story is lost

I'm the seventh son, of the seventh son
I'll play my cards until I'm done
I was born on flooded streets
Skin has covered my eyes and I can't see
Take me back to where I used to be
Set the forest on fire and rescue me
Your feet are trees, your tongue is a vine
Your thoughts are dead and gone
Just like mine

I am a stranger
I am a stranger to this place
You'll never know me
You'll never know my name

Bricks are whispering underneath my feet
Close your pretty eyes, I'll help you see

Look at what I've built
Look at what I've done
I'm all of this and what I'm capable of

I built this city
What has it done for me
