As time presses through the day,
Vacant beats pulse along the way.
Streets hold me captive tied and bound,
Holding breaths I'm walking round and round
Streets are showered, confetti floats beneath my feet.
Each step I seek
Each step I lose
Each step the streets, takes all I knew
I didn't know that much though, but I'm slowly gonna go.
Tripping over feet, I can't keep the beat
The sky is creeping down, do you see?
I cannot see, I cannot be
I cannot listen to what the city screams.
Pathways the stars will help me drift,
Through the currents of the street life.
Awake I'm tied and bound with sounds,
Asleep these traps won't come around
Streets are showered confetti floats beneath my feet.
Each step I grin,
Each step a fake
Each step the thief, paints stripes on me
This ball and chain feels right, but I'm slowly gonna go.
Tripping over feet, I can't keep the beat
The sky is creeping down, do you see?
I cannot see, I cannot be
I cannot listen to what the city screams.
I'll take it bound and gagged and ball and chained,
Just shoot me now, I'll kiss you in the next life.
So long I wait, long I wait, long I waste
So long I wait, long I wait, long I waste
So long I wait, long I wait, long I waste
So long I wait, long I wait, long I waste
Vacant beats pulse along the way.
Streets hold me captive tied and bound,
Holding breaths I'm walking round and round
Streets are showered, confetti floats beneath my feet.
Each step I seek
Each step I lose
Each step the streets, takes all I knew
I didn't know that much though, but I'm slowly gonna go.
Tripping over feet, I can't keep the beat
The sky is creeping down, do you see?
I cannot see, I cannot be
I cannot listen to what the city screams.
Pathways the stars will help me drift,
Through the currents of the street life.
Awake I'm tied and bound with sounds,
Asleep these traps won't come around
Streets are showered confetti floats beneath my feet.
Each step I grin,
Each step a fake
Each step the thief, paints stripes on me
This ball and chain feels right, but I'm slowly gonna go.
Tripping over feet, I can't keep the beat
The sky is creeping down, do you see?
I cannot see, I cannot be
I cannot listen to what the city screams.
I'll take it bound and gagged and ball and chained,
Just shoot me now, I'll kiss you in the next life.
So long I wait, long I wait, long I waste
So long I wait, long I wait, long I waste
So long I wait, long I wait, long I waste
So long I wait, long I wait, long I waste
