Alone In the City
by The Classic Crime

Album: Grim Age

I started writing a new symphony
From the sound of the cars
In the rain on the street

It used to be us then
But now it s just me
Tuning in, taking notes
From a broken TV

And the truth is that right now
I'm feeling caged
Against the conventional senses I rage
Making a statement on every page
But what does it prove?
Whose mind does that change?

I m alone in the city
I'm alone in the city
I'm alone in the city
And nobodies coming for me

Days turn to weeks since
I ve been checked out
Trying my best with
The weight of the doubt
That life is more than
Just a series of chains
That I put on myself
No one else to blame

And it feels like I m stuck
In the state that i'm in
A drunken preacher
With no congregation
So I take my place
Among the autumn leaves
It s a failure to thrive
With a family to feed

I'm alone in the city
I m alone in the city
I'm alone in the city
And nobodies coming for me

I m alone in the city
And nobodies coming

And there's a man
On the corner
Screaming at me
Says that I am the problem
I guess I agree
So I reach in my pocket
To give him some change
And he pushes it back
Says, "it can't fix the pain"

"I m alone in the city
I m alone in the city
I'm alone in the city
And nobodies coming for me"
