With headphones on the streets are silenced Cars hum along to disrupt the quiet You learn a lot about a place, when you see it without a sun You search for a shred of innocence but realize there is none The open gutters, collecting water The unbreathable air, we're all aware You learn a lot about a place, when you see it for what it is It loses it feel of mystery and any hope that is can Give me a reason not to just start screaming out loud You can't convince me What i want and what i need are separate things All those distractions they'll beg us to stay We'll give new meaning to running away
