I don't know why you try to deny it
Try to tell me that it isn't true
That the city's web of wonder
Doesn’t mean a **** thing to you
All the drifters know your name
They call to you from the sky
And those streets they know no shame
So just leave me here to cry
Go ahead and take my emeralds
Trade them for your diamonds and gold
Admit that is what you have wanted
And add them to your box of truths untold
There's no need for excuses or spent up alibies
Cause we both know there ain't no change
In your pocket full of lies
Those irises of blue know more than they reveal
Along those roads of ruin take all that you can steal
I can't love past all your lust and greed
So surround yourself in those city walls
And just leave me here to bleed
