Nik Nocturnal
This Could Be Anywhere in the World
[Verse 1]
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, won’t be long before I’m too deep to run
The lineup seems endless
Underneath the salvation sighs
We are the dead ones, we are the lost cause
We are the bend before the break, our steps seal our fate
[Chorus]
Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (Ghosts)
From broken homes (Homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there’s no hope (Hope)
Left for these souls (Souls)
[Verse 2]
Ever 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 scars than skin
[Chorus]
Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (Ghosts)
From broken homes (Homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there’s no hope (Hope)
Left for these souls (Souls)
[Bridge]
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
(Ohhh!)
Walk with us (Ohhhh!)
Down!
Walk with us!
[Chorus]
Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (Ghosts)
From broken homes (Homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there’s no hope (Hope)
Left for these souls (Souls)
