This Could Be Anywhere in the World Songtext
von Alexisonfire

THIS TOWN HAS ITS 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


[CHORUS]
Because this city,
This city is haunted
By ghosts from broken homes

Because this city,
This city is haunted
There's no hope left for these 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 SKY'S A BRICK WALL
THE GROUND′S A JUGGERNAUT
EACH DAY THEY GET A BIT CLOSER
BETWEEN THEM, I AM CAUGHT
As 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 THAN SKIN

-[Chorus]-


OUR STEPS SEAL FATE x2

THIS IS OUR CELEBRATION, COME JOIN THE LOST SOULS x2

This city, this city is haunted...

[-Chorus-]
