Cosmicity – This City lyrics

10:00 pm, I walk under streetlights
Across concrete, perfectly damp
I hear the music of the passing cars
I feel the pain of invisible stars
A woman singing from a distant corner
sets the tone for my evening quest
Her voice is hard to pull from the masses

This is my city

I do my best

12:00 am, I walk under neon
Across grates that breathe with steam
I hear the roaring of a helpless skyscraper
I feel the tension in abandoned newspaper
A happy couple looking out at the water
Sets the tone for my midnight quest
Their true expressions are lost in the masses

This is my city

I do my best

3:00 am, I walk against red lights
Empty streets, dead with grief
I hear the dripping of an endless leak
I feel the pain in this heart I seek
A lone car in a parking structure
Sets the tone for my endless quest
I can't quite hear if she's laughing or crying
