Sinkhole

The asphalt breaks under my feet — under my feet

  There are not bright lights in the sky tonight

  A dark shadow it follows me — it follows me

  I can run but I have to stand my ground

  

 This city is sinkhole, sinkhole

 So sick of climbing — to the sky

 While my dreams fall through my hands

 This city is a sinkhole, sinkhole

  But I’m still climbing— but I try

  Wish I could change direction but it’s a long way down

  Long way down

  

I’m falling down — I’m falling down

I’m falling down — I’m falling down

  

The thieves don’t have to run and hide — to run and hide

  They stand up and stare you right in the eye

  A child screams out in the streets — out in the streets

  This isn’t life but I have to try and get by

  

This city is sinkhole, sinkhole

 So sick of climbing — to the sky

  While my dreams fall through my hands

This city is a sinkhole, sinkhole

But I’m still climbing— but I try

  Wish I could change direction but it’s a long way down

  Long way down

  

 The asphalt breaks under my feet — under my feet

 There are not bright lights in the sky tonight

 A dark shadow it follows me — it follows me

 I can run but I have to stand my ground
