lyrics

Verse 1: Ruffian
They dead roots that still produce flowers, juice sour, red moons
Underneath tilted from the potion, dancing statues
So melodic but only they head move, robotic
Sanctuaries in bedrooms, pull the sheets down
By their feet, from the ceiling is where they sleep now
Pictures of God, history books about beings that bled blue
Forgot the beginning is nonsense
Begot from the pages we read they read not
The intoxicated live, the rest die when they detox
A puzzle with a piece lost, assume there's light
End up with your arms stretched out and your feet crossed
And nails buried deep, singed cheek from sleeping so close to Hell
From thinking oh well, the tails of old no longer wag
And the new beast has no leash crouched along the path
And His teeth? His teeth sink into the soul
Deceived and mislead too, trying to think upon your own, Shadow City

Hook: X4
Shadow City

Verse 2: Cas Metah
They don't think they just act, they don't blink they just nap
With they eyes open, holding on the brink 'bout to snap
Relapse, recover then relapse
The jungle's full of shadows smothered underneath the cracks
Living for the fly, running from the facts
Giving up on life, giving in to the black cloud overdose
Settling for comatose, when potion grows into poison better hold your nose
Death tolls are on the rise, zombies walking off beat and not between the lines
Officers are trying but ultimately they're not stopping the crimes
'Cause there's too many users, not enough cruisers riding
Abuse is a muse for many
They get addicted to the feeling and end up spending their last pennies on
Anything their dealer brings into the picture pretty
It can get pretty ugly living here in Shadow City

Hook: X4
