This City​

​

'A Tale of Chaos'

 

You see this man in power,
Who runs them with his guns?
He said he's got to tell you,
That you're the only one,
So there darlin' went a-gunnin',
She gunned them down all day,
You promised that they're something,
You promised it today.

 

But the eyes just stood there widening,
You said that change was good,
The city saw them crumblin',
The city understood.
​
You see this main in power,
Who's lived here since he's born?
He's asking from his tower,
He's asking for the dawn,
So there darlin' who was born here,
She said this land was hers,
You promised that they're something,
You promised that you cared.
​
But the eyes just stood there widening,
You said that change was good,
The city saw them crumblin',

The city saw the blood.

​

You see this main in power,
Who runs them with his mouth?
He's asking for there lovers,
He's asking for them now,
But they're darlin' went a-missin',
As the youth then lost their mind,
You told them that they're something,
You told them it's their time.
​
But the eyes just stood there widening,
You said that change was good,
The city saw them crumblin',
This city's oh, so, good.
