lirik lagu tears for gotham – chance waters

ain’t it funny how this city never sleeps?
from up here i can see the whole piece
heard they look like ants, but i think they look like sheep
or something that you’d scr*pe from off the bottom of your feet

traffic lanes are like the veins of a body
commerce is a cancer like a trojan is an offering
they watch what cells to what cells remain are rotting
that growth is gonna burst inside the coffin

tell ’em that i’ll watch the city burn like nero in an opera
watch ’em stoke the fire with their stocks and options
truth is an illusion, stocks aren’t an option
i will not cry for gotham
’cause i could never shed a single tear from an eye
for a city so obsessed with “i” that they all went blind
couldn’t see the forest for the trees
if they chopped down until their children couldn’t even breathe

i’ve been told this city never sleeps
they say they need a hero, don’t they?
well i hope that they don’t turn to me
’cause i’ll no longer be here waiting

i’ve been told this city never sleeps
they say they need a hero, don’t they?
well i hope that they don’t turn to me
’cause i’ll no longer be here waiting
they built the city on a vicious cycle
let the children smoke for their own survival
the citizens choked while the figures looked positive
they’ll only stop if it costs more for you to light one
same goes for the pokies and the junkies
they deal with their problems when they feel it in their money
so when they come running and they look to me for help
shine a beacon in the sky, you can tell ’em that i’ll

turn a blind eye to the city as its savior
as they turn a blind eye to criminal behaviour
the safest place left will be the bars in which they’re locked up
the people too poor to afford their way to justice
and as the flames rise, let them run to the seas
and flee upon their boats as ironic refugees
may the last thing they see be the earth reclaim its lease
from the land which they seized, not welcomed here in peace

i’ve been told this city never sleeps
they say they need a hero, don’t they?
well i hope that they don’t turn to me
’cause i’ll no longer be here waiting
