Nana Grizol - Broken Cityscapes lyrics

Pushing forward
Highway miles are cheaper than in town
If you left something behind
We'll try your best
Not to let it get you down
The city's full of bullshit
I don't sleep there anymore
I don't want it's schmoozy eagerness
I don't want to be it's whore

But we, we are so awestruck by the
Way that things just are
Like how the sun shines 'till it's night time
We fall asleep to the sound of passing cars

It's that sinking sunken feeling
That you get on the roofs of tall buildings
Staring out over the bay or broken
Cityscapes that make you cry
And it's not sad it's just you don't know how
To begin to ask why
Just a few more cigarettes and
I'll come back inside
And do you ever get the feeling
Something somewhere in you is still alive
And saying "Oh and it's a big life
As big as it can be
And if you cannot see the beauty
Well don't give up so easily
And it's a weak-kneed conversation
Telling your new revelation
To a choir of a more cynical nature

Being your ego and your id
The part that swears to you
You'll never want kids
The part that drinks away each night
And in the morning wakes at
Ten and goes to work

So let's not be so bitter
At least not just yet
I keep meaning to say everything's ok
Well how presumptuous is that?

And sure we all get hurt sometimes
And sure we all feel ashamed
But, if our friends can't help
Us through these things
I don't know what friendship means
And I don't know just what it
Is I'm trying to say
