Sad City

I bite my tongue to keep me quiet
As they dig a hole in my chest
And every piece of me wants to fight it
When they say I can’t feel I’m too blessed
And when I take a turn for the better
I still live with a safety net
How can I be living front and center
And only feel like a silhouette
Pull me down, pick me up
Send me a location
Anywhere that makes me feel something
I’m nervous and my hands are shaking
But I still don’t want your saving
But that’s what you get in sad city
Where hearts weigh heavy on the soul
And everybody’s still here for the taking
While they sell us out for fame and fool’s gold
But the best welcome you to sad city
Where we feel the illusion of control
And I know I’m too far gone for saving
But I’m easier to save when I’m alone
I’m stuck in sad city I don’t mind it
And everybody wants to be the best
And every piece of me tries to deny it
As I put every feeling to rest
And everybody wants to get to all the answers
But we’re too used to being silhouettes
Tell me how can we find something better
If we never try to reinvent
Pull me down pick me up send me a location
Anywhere that makes me feel something
I’m nervous and my hands are shaking
But i still don’t want your saving
But that’s what you get in sad city
Where hearts weigh heavy on the soul
And everybody’s still here for the taking
While they sell us out for fame and fool’s gold
But the best welcome you to sad city
Where we feel the illusion of control
And I know I’m too far gone for saving
But I’m easier to save when I’m alone
But that’s what you get in sad city
Where hearts weigh heavy on the soul
And everybody’s still here for the taking
While they sell us out for fame and fool’s gold
But the best welcome you to sad city
Where we feel the illusion of control
And I know I’m too far gone for saving
But I’m easier to save when I’m alone
But the best welcome you to sad city
Where hearts weigh heavy on the soul
And everybody’s too far gone for saving
But I’m easier to save when I’m alone
