Part 2 - The God of the City

from Part 1 & 2 by KINAJ

lyrics

Volume swells
I wake up as it comes
Standing on a slippery ledge
I think I remember when
Gasping at the shitty city lights
My eyes open wide in lust, angst, night
And I wonder if life had any sight

Maybe I'll go around town,
Look for a place, where the days stop slippin'
A room, where the live stop livin'
Way, way down, where the city's sleepin', it drowned

Warm foggy covers, let the people rest
I walk along the roof tops, the city sleeps
It's at its best
Can you feel it too?
We're slowly ascending
Into chaos driven
By spiteful, drowsy, dumb-fuck living
It's vivid

My mouth is the only window open every day of the year
The only one in a town of debt and rent
Of all days spent, drunk and complicit

Please. Just one more beer and I'll be right here. Won't you come?
I'll steer us into the river, you'll hear?

The result, I find, is an interesting experience, full of emotions and situated nostalgia. ... more
