Mumbai

They say keep going The light will come But I'm shoved in a box That is on the run I'm moving too fast But reaching nowhere They say, it is like that But it also gets better I'm holding the last thread That keeps all this in place The city is blinding my hopes Looking for reasons to exist Seems my hunger again Will have to save me from myself I feel it in my belly The snake is raising her head I'm hungry I'm so hungry I'm shouting but Mumbai can't hear me I'm hungry I'm so hungry I'm trying but nobody believes in me Mumbai, city of dreams, they call you But nobody kills them as much as you Mumbai, please be clear, what do you want out of me? I only have words and that i'll bleed Mumbai, if you are testing me Tell me how much more you need me to see? I've walked your streets I've chased your lights But all I'm left with are sleepless nights I've given my sweat I've given my tears You still keep me running Through my fears I played your hand And I paid the price I guarded my honour I left my pride I've kept my word I've fought the storm But how much longer Must I conform? I've lost my faith I've lost my way But I'm still standing Come what may Come what may Come what may I'm hungry I'm so hungry I'm shouting but Mumbai can't hear me I'm hungry I'm so hungry I'm trying but nobody believes in me
