Alexisonfire - This Could Be Anywhere In The World

This town has its claws

buried in my neck

this town - it takes lives

without mercy

without hate



the streets are in distress

the sun suffocates behind darkened skies



The Grass is growing

on top of my feet

i'm sinking

wont be long

before im too deep to run



the line up seems endless

underneath the salvation signs



we are the dead ones

we are the lost cause

we are the bend before the break

our steps seal our fate



because this city, this city is haunted

by ghosts from broken homes

because this city, this city is haunted

and there's no hope left for these souls



Every step i take

i leave a small piece of myself behind

soon there will be nothing left



the cracks in the pavement

match the cracks in their weathered skin



The sky's a brick wall

the grounds a juggernaut

each day they get a bit closer

between them, i am caught



i stare in amazement i can't believe

this is where i live



Every breath i take

i feel my lungs seal

this breeze feels more like shards of glass

I'm more scar than skin



because this city, this city is haunted

by ghosts from broken homes

because this city, this city is haunted

and there's no hope left for these souls



our steps seal fate

our steps seal fate



this is our celebration

come join the lost souls



this city this city is haunted



walk with us oh



because this city, this city is haunted

by ghosts from broken homes

because this city, this city is haunted

and there's no hope left for these souls
