Sing like you think no one's listening ......

"This Could Be Anywhere in the World"

This town has it's claws buried in my neck
This town, it takes lives without mercy, without hate

The streets are in distress,
The sun suffocates behind darkened skies
The grass is growing on top of my feet
I'm sinking, won't be long, before I'm too deep to run

The line-up seems endless,
Underneath the salvation signs
We are the dead ones, we are the lost cause
We are the bend before the break, our steps seal our fate

The city, the city is haunted,
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
There's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls)

Every step I take,
I leave a small piece of myself behind
Soon there will be nothing left

The cracks in the pavement,
Match the cracks in their weathered skin,
The skies a brick wall, the grounds a juggernaut
Each day they get closer, between them I am caught
I stare in amazement, I can't believe this is where I live
Every breath I take, I feel my lungs seal
This breeze feels more like shards of glass I'm more scars then skin

The city, the city is haunted,
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
There's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls)

Our steps seal fate
Our steps seal fate
(this is our celebration, come join the lost souls) [x2]

The city, the city is haunted
Oh! Walk with us. Oh! Down. Walk with us

The city, the city is haunted,
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
There's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls)
