This town has its claws buried in my neck
This town - it takes life 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 thinking, it won't be to long until before I'm 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 (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted, there's no hope (hope), left for these souls (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 ground's a juggernaut
Each day they get a bit closer, between them, I am caught
(As I stare in amazement, I can't believe this is where I live)
Every breathe I take, I feel my lungs seal
This breeze feels more like shards of glass, I'm more scars than skin

Because this city, this city is haunted by ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted, there's no hope (hope), left for these souls (souls)

Our steps seal fate
Our steps seal fate
This is our celebration, come join the lost souls
This is our celebration, come join the lost souls

(This city, this city is haunted)

Come, walk with us all
Come, walk with us

Because this city, this city is haunted by ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted, there's no hope (hope), left for these souls (souls)
