I lift my city up high, look down and I start to cry On my knees I ask why, is my city being let down I cry for my city now, I cry for my city now How can we live with ourselves, why are we killing ourselves Life ain't been the same since we lost an old friend I'm seeing more roads turning into dead ends How can we leave someone abandoned in the cold wind Everybody blaming them but they don't want to make amends We see what's going on but still we don't change It's getting worse each and every single day We're still at war fighting every single way Over drugs, over love, the wrong time and place I don't want to go back to a place that was once called home Because that place is taking souls that I thought I've known I don't want to hear no more about that place I love Because now all I hear about is a body turned cold Hearts have been shot, shell sounds hit the ground Mama gets that phone call, her son has been gunned down I lift my city up high, look down and I start to cry On my knees I ask why is my city being let down I cry for my city now, I cry for my city now How can we live with ourselves, why are we killing ourselves Singing to me is a symphony of death I've got this strain inside my body and with every creeping breath it's draining life Such a melancholy soul that's torn apart I'm needing time to mend this slowly beating heart Man, my city makes me sick I just don't see I don't know how it's become An insidious abyss and just a couple of ticks We're clearly drowning in sin Got a devastating aura that is haunting our kids The tune to which my soul is set is young but dying within The staging carcass just continues wearing ever so thin We assume that no one knows us just for who we really are So we leave behind these bruises and we leave behind the scars An all-consuming hatred based on only breeding pain We're feeling that we're righteous when we're really ashamed Go kill that painful thought of yours nothing ever stays the same Budding flowers without names cleanse the dirt from in your veins Time to lift the city up let the king of kings reign I lift my city up high look down and I start to cry On my knees I ask why, is my city being let down I cry for my city now, I cry for my city now How can we live with ourselves, why are we killing ourselves
