City lights all look the same
From an airplane or the street
And our voices rise and rise
What's one man mean to you? He falls between the gears
He dies! He dies
I'll hold on to my soul, beneath the neon glow
Of every concrete ziggurat and flashing street sign
Oh! It feels like it's a crime!
I shouldn't be alive
And I'll climb into the arms of your unlimited blade works
Knowing they're a lie
And I will keep that hold - near anywhere I go
On any metro line
With every door that opens I get more and more lost
Within the congregation tours of my mind
And then I look to you - nothing else matters
Finally gain composure
Next stop is ours
But two hearts, they can beat
Oh they can beat much faster
In these dead city streets
From Battery to Astor
If you can, hold 'em clean
For now and ever after
Ascend here with me into the sky
With every cloud that passes, "What's the point?"
I think I'm losing my mind
And then you look to me - with those eyes
Let's keep looking forward
This life is ours!
Listen close, just to me
I swear I'll be your savior
With our young energy
My handgun and your saber
We can conquer the streets
A monarchy to last
Until these bridges burn we'll rise and rise
What am I supposed to do when I feel so small inside?
I'll hold on to my heart, beside graffiti art
When I move from Grammercy to fuckin' Bedstuy
Oh! It feels like such a crime!
I shouldn't be alive
And I will climb into the arms of your unlimited blade works
Knowing they're a lie
And I will keep that hold - near anywhere I go
On any metro line
So I can free my soul - near anywhere I go
On any metro line
