The City Ends Songtext
von Gilded Lily

In the wreckage of a dozen burned bridges
Picked through by mutts and beggars
The mementos of languished friendships
Where your whiskey-soaked years
Where the bottles of wine that bared your breast
Where the gray smoke of a newfound vice
Where the humming red halogen glow
Lay in an unhealing mass of resentment
And shame


Once I left the station
To the sound of bells
And the sheets of rain
Greeted me with a baptism
Of downtown failure
And the same streets
I had walked for years
Looked suddenly different
So give in to an old way
Go where the roads go
See where the city ends
