City Limits

18 years with familiar faces Two decades of the same old places Filled with memories of wasted youth Suburbia hides the ugly truth 9PM and the world goes silent Darkness masks the quiet violence Can't hide from the prying eyes Starting wildfires of rumours and lies The city limits are suffocating Constantly watching and waiting For moments that never arrive Feeling like I'm only half alive Driving in circles to pass the time Just trying to occupy my mind One traffic light always blinking red I can't get out, I can't get ahead 12AM and the world grows loud Darkness rolls in on storm clouds Caught outside in the lightning and thunder I'll let myself be torn asunder The city limits are suffocating Constantly watching and waiting For moments that never arrive Feeling like I'm only half alive If I could find the space to breathe Maybe I wouldn't have to leave I can feel the cracks in my heart I know it's time for a new start The city limits are suffocating Constantly watching and waiting For moments that never arrive Feeling like I'm only half alive 18 years with familiar faces Two decades of the same old places Filled with memories of wasted youth Suburbia hides the ugly truth
