Preface: The City of Xin

'Are you feeling like you belong somewhere else?
Maybe not even on this planet perhaps
Well, it seems we might just have the solution for you.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
This is Xin's Disappearance!'

I really wish I could be bragging bout a cheque
Weighing down my woes with 80k around my neck, yeh
I know this life was never meant to last
There's no time to fuck around let's get it quick

Look, I wish I could be bragging 'bout a cheque
Nah not the kind that's got me stacking debt
Or the type to help you go and lose your friends
Left wondering who am I really trying to impress.

Yeah, young boy had a good heart
How did you lose your way?
Something like X, I to the N gone M.I.A, yeh
Swept up in a whirlwind probably take you too far
No yellow-brick road gonna save you, uh, uh, uh
City life been too toxic
Go and soak up that sun
It seems that you might have lost your
Two feet firm on the ground
But have you ever tried to fly
Who says you couldn't fly

Well, really it's easier said than done, yeah
When you're raised by a city where the one sin
Is to be low on funds
Just see what it did do to a young X-I-N in the context of (what?)
Party party, people powder pushing
Peng punani falling from the sky I think the weather's looking up now
Never really made much difference
The feeling never lasts long torment always came back with a vengeance
Feel I need to find myself again
Only this time maybe somewhere else
