City City

Gritty city, grimy hands touching my face
Do you know who you are?
Dirty city left your trace
Peeling paint and spider webs hanging all over the place
Do you know what you are?
Forgotten but not erased
Utterly devoid of charm
Overwhelmingly come too close and gone too far
Territorial full moon rising over empty streets
Think I know what you are
My city, you're a memory
Winter rules and cold wind blows over so much space
Do you know where you are?
A nowhere land, an empty waste
You feel bad, you feel so sad that you're living this fate
Always thought you'd go far, now you're ghosts are waiting at the gate
Utterly devoid of charm
Overwhelmingly come too close and gone too far
Territorial full moon rising over empty streets
Think I know what you are
City, you're a memory
Shaded streets and fallen leaves
Death toll rises as winter comes
Walking on the tracks, stepping over cracks
This is where I come from
Seemingly devoid of charm
Beauty hitting so close to home and then so far
Ceremonial blue moon rising over watchful streets
I'll never know what you are
City, please remember me
Please remember me
