Empty Streets
[Verse 1]
Empty streets, cigarette smoke in the air
The night whispers her secrets to me, she knows I don't care
I'm just a fucking loser, a human in despair
Born in unusual skin I didn't choose to wear
I never was a cool kid, never a good student
I sat in classes contemplating suicide like "do it"
But I'm just a coward sulking for my own amusement
I had my finger on the trigger but I couldn't pull it
Why can't I stop looking back on my traumatic past?
Why do y'all keep listening to my dramatic ass?
Why do I wish I would drop dead of a heart attack?
And why did I go fall in love when romance doesn't last?
Now I'm at my breaking point, I can't help but self sabotage
No one sees the real me, I keep that person camouflaged
In a cage tied up in chains and I can't take the shackles off
Everywhere I go, my biggest demons always tag along
[Chorus]
Empty streets, rain falls when an angel weeps
I come from a city made of bright lights and broken dreams
Empty streets, rain falls when an angel weeps
I come from a city made of bright lights and broken dreams
[Verse 2]
And I don't get along with anybody
Middle fingers up, I never hold my tongue, fuck everybody
Most of y'all are wannabes, lil' insecure generic copies
There's a curse inside of me that bothers me and I let it haunt me
Everyday I've been in solitary confinement
My mind's forever altered, there's no way I can describe it
The only thing I know is that I'm all alone and frightened
Nothing ever adds up, I can't stand this misalignment
I don't wanna grow up but I've lived a thousand lives
I can't last another round, I'm dropping out the fight
I hate my reflection, I ain't got no sense of pride
Everything is wrong, I wish that one thing will go right
Staring at the stars before the sun rises again
Admiring the silence, that's good as it gets
Nothing is this bliss, it's always been my only friend
I'll be a pessimistic piece of shit until the end
[Chorus]
Empty streets, rain falls when an angel weeps
I come from a city made of bright lights and broken dreams
Empty streets, rain falls when an angel weeps
I come from a city made of bright lights and broken dreams
