Street names, street signs
Rows agianst rows, like the moving of a boat
Great lengths, great highs
The tips of buildings trying to stay afloat
We swim in and out, bustling to get through
But the truth is we're all drowning too
My only life-jacket is you
The city that we live
Taken everything we've got to give
Our money, our ego, our lies
All the things that god despise
Yet somehow it's got a charm
Hold you close right at the arm
A city that never sleeps
Is a city i'd like to meet
Cause every city got it's eyes closed
To what goes on behind doors
And the city can't open it's eyes
Cause it's already dead inside
RIP Juice, Rip X, RIP Mac, that's all great
They're happy where they are, they followed fate
They got out, they can elate
No more people too dictate
Don't sound that bad, I'll follow too
They in a better place, they got through
If i can accomplish as much as they did
I'd take any young death as punishment
Street names, street signs
Rows agianst rows, like the moving of a boat
Great lenghts, great highs
The tips of buildings trying to stay afloat
We swim in and out, bustling to get through
But the truth is we're all drowning too
My only life-jacket is you
Through the city eyes
I'll look through
Past the mascara
Towards the tissue
There's better things
Soon i'll find my wings
But the lights they still shine bright
And the lights they leave you blind
So when I stare you down
I can't see
When I stare you down
I'll never leave
The highs of the city eyes
