lyrics

Into the patterns of the city we plunge, as we’re sucking in death with these half-collapsed lungs. Spitting out hate with our twisted tongues and our minds are all lost down some unmarked street. The alleys have eyes and the walls are alive. The buildings are standing in line side by side. The houses are empty, they seems strange and dull, and that thought leaves my brain all alone in my skull. The air is polluted, it poisons my veins. All the ghosts won’t stand still and they look at me strange. The moon seems deflated and slightly frustrated. The stars are all clouded, they leave me sedated. This city is scaring the fuck out of me, so I try to stay at home and just watch my TV. I don’t want to get swept up into all the madness and become just like these ghosts, with their passive sadness.

I'm lost in the patterns of the city.
I'm stuck in the patterns of my mind.
