The City Songtext
von Zashed

PRIDE, PROGRESS, POTENTIAL

The City takes
PRIDE
PROGRESS
POTENTIAL

A life spent driving down the same dirt roads
The endless bypass again
You can never progress with that kind of mindset
You have potential, kid

I′ll show you
How to get out
Come and make
Me wake up
Once you come to
Never leave
The City
Flows through me


Once you get out you can never get back in
And once you come to, you never get to leave
Is it obvious that I'm getting nauseous
Of the highways spinning ′round
If you need me, come find me
You can always come back home
A dirt rose colored hue

Everybody's a saint til they're a martyr
A statement I′ve come to find out

Broken by a steeple
The City
The City finds a way
The City
The City falls
The City
Rosary
Memory
Chasm full
Of the waste
Stay with me
The River
Flows through me
The City
Abandoned


I guess you could say I′m a pessimist
I've got no time to reminisce
Something has been led amiss
The chasm I plummet from
To the creek dragged I emerge to waste
Your murky burial awaits
A city laid to fucking rest

PRIDE, PROGRESS, POTENTIAL
Too much pride not enough progress
The City of Fallen Ideals
The City is in ruins
