it came along this familiar way
my head said ooh-ooh-oh
the pills they gave were a placebo to say
my head said ooh-ooh-oh
in and out and pushed around and scared, all alone
hanging on a final thread of thoughts that keep calling me home
in this city i got nowhere left to hide
i'll crawl into a hole and give it one more try
(oh, these city lights)
let go of my fate
I started speaking cause I'm alright.. I'm alright
everyone was still staring at me
the nurse said "oh-no-oh
don't you think about running away"
my head said go-go-go
out through the window and into the air
hit the ground running, not going back
i never did care
in this city i got nowhere left to hide
i'll crawl into a hole and give it one more try
(oh, these city lights)
let go of my fate
I started speaking cause im alright.. im alright
making up more lies
in and out and pushed around till' i cant find my way home
in this city i got nowhere left to hide
i'll crawl into a hole and give it one more try
(these city lights)let go of my fate
I started speaking cause im alright.. im alright
making up more lies.. more lies
these lies they arent mine
my head said ooh-ooh-oh
the pills they gave were a placebo to say
my head said ooh-ooh-oh
in and out and pushed around and scared, all alone
hanging on a final thread of thoughts that keep calling me home
