Young///Savage - The City That Sleeps

lyrics

And I'll open these eyes to face another heartless day,
that redemptive sun/son, blistering my sins.
What did I do to deserve this?
The city's waking up and cluttering the highways.
The drunks are walking home.
They spent their cab fare on last call.
They'll probably end up calling into work.
Is this the city I once believed in?
I must've been so young...

And If I leave this place, I won't go quiet.
I'll wake the city that sleeps in, I will rattle its bones

So you've found yourself a new scene.
You can change the scenery, it'll never change the rhythm your heart beats.
These haunted city streets will be our gallows.
For the lives we've all abandoned, hang 'em high.
