Past foundation, present wasteland
Brick confusion, slick illusion
Through tiled veins in tired rain,
Concrete corridors seem the same
This is the sour, sleepwalk greenback game
I think with all the neon sold
We paid the price of heart and soul
Faceless commerce turns the common city cold
And it sings lust and greed and things for me
Smoke breathing, people teeming
The busy grayscale heart is beating
My busy grayscale heart is bleeding
I befriend the sights and sounds
My skin encapsulates this town
I think with all the neon sold
We paid the price of heart and soul
Faceless commerce turns the common city cold
I’m captured by the lights and stores
My feet have known this street before
Mindless commerce turns my common city cold
And I sing lust and greed and things for me
I need a central part like Central Park
(New York looks like my heart)
Now i see lust and greed
replaced with green leaves on trees inside of me
