lyrics

I started writing a new symphony
From the sound of the cars
In the rain on the street
It used to be us then
But now it's just me
Tuning in, taking notes
From a broken TV

And the truth is that right now
I'm feeling caged
Against the conventional senses I rage
Making a statement on every page
But what does it prove?
Whose mind does that change?

I'm alone in the city
I'm alone in the city
I'm alone in the city
And nobodies coming for me

Days turn to weeks since
I've been checked out
Trying my best with
The weight of the doubt
That life is more than
Just a series of chains
That I put on myself
No one else to blame

And it feels like I'm stuck
In the state that i'm in
A drunken preacher
With no congregation
So I take my place
Among the autumn leaves
It's a failure to thrive
With a family to feed

I'm alone in the city
I'm alone in the city
I'm alone in the city
And nobodies coming for me

I'm alone in the city
And nobodies coming

And there's a man
On the corner
Screaming at me
Says that I am the problem
I guess I agree
So I reach in my pocket
To give him some change
And he pushes it back
Says, "it can't fix the pain"

"I'm alone in the city
I'm alone in the city
I'm alone in the city
And nobodies coming for me"
