The City Lyrics – Ellevator
Singer: Ellevator
Title: The City
〈Verse 1〉
I’ve grown a bit smug
Partaking in the drug
I used to so ardently despise
I’ve played it safe
Kept to my kin
Wrapped my self in a wedding gown
Made of my indecision
Silk from lovely vision
Of a place that I’ll never go
I’ll be pregnant with envy
Let it overcome me
Live like a spectre with seed to sow
〈Pre-Chorus〉
Every woman’s soul that searches
Every silent word that curses
Every fallen star that ever fell
Every mother’s heart that’s broken
Temptations left unspoken
Every coin that I tossed in the well
〈Chorus〉
Maybe I was wrong
And the lights of the city are cold to me
And maybe I was scared
That I couldn’t be all that you want from me
〈Verse 2〉
So please, no more words
No advice or new methods
Because I’m dying of good intentions
Your sleek optimism
And your practiced charm—
They break me like a promise
When we were young and blind
Drunk on communion wine
With my doubts 〈.?.〉 your child
Oh, don’t you remember?
So young and tender
She’ll be a runner just like me…
〈Pre-Chorus〉
Every woman’s soul that searches
Every silent word that curses
Every fallen star that ever fell
Every mother’s heart that’s broken
Temptations left unspoken
Every coin that I tossed in the well
〈Chorus〉
Maybe I was wrong
And the lights of the city are cold to me
And maybe I was scared
That I couldn’t be all that you want from me
But maybe you were right
And it’s time I let go of all these childish things
And maybe you were wrong
To hold up your hands and let the silence in
〈Bridge〉
Your footsteps by the door
My body on the floor
Don’t know what we’re fighting for
Don’t know what we’re fighting for
I try to fall asleep
The sickness runs too deep
Don’t know what we’re fighting for
Don’t know what we’re fighting for
〈Outro〉
Don’t know what we’re fighting for
Don’t know what we’re fighting
Fighting
Fighting
Fighting for
I don’t know what we’re fighting for
Don’t know what we’re fighting for
