The City or The War

You’re like a cigarette, out on a motorbike
(Straight) Down a boulevard
As cold and black as suicide
If there’s another way out
Then I’m dying to find it
I reason it out
But it’s choking inside a broken song
But maybe I’m not that strong
Maybe I’m not that strong
Well I know I can’t afford
The city or the war
And it’s trying to break my heart
(It's) like a masquerade, out in my own backyard
And I am very afraid
That I won’t get very far
But I’m willing to crawl
I’m willing to find out what went wrong
No trouble at all
There’s a back door painted on my wall
But maybe I’m not that strong
Maybe I’m not that strong
Cause I know I can’t afford
This city or this war
This traffic in my brain
Is dying for something to say
And it’s trying to break my heart
And it’s trying to break my heart
And it’s trying to break my heart
(I know, I know, I’m really not that strong)
And it’s trying to break my heart
(I know, I know, I’m really not that strong)
And it’s trying to break my heart
