The Fast Forwards - The City Lyrics

The city tells me it’s time to go
but in pitch dark you see nothing
it doesn’t know i don’t have to adapt
the city sighs as it sees me
cause i don’t carry the cancer
and i can hear it wheezing
give up, give up

it’s a cold city, a sick city this
i gotta keep smiling
keep, keep hiding
i’m all alone in this
cold stinking, dark wet dirty hole
i gotta keep struggling
keep, keep fighting to survive alone
and remain my own

i’m not the son that you wished for
i don’t let go of the answers
you claim your certain but you’re not aware
and all those things you would need to be
seem more distant than ever
and i can still hear the wheezing
give up, give up

it’s a cold city, a sick city this
i gotta keep smiling
keep, keep hiding
i’m all alone in this
cold stinking, dark wet dirty hole
i gotta keep struggling
keep, keep fighting to survive alone
and remain my own
