about

the city was written and recorded in January of 2020 and remastered in January of 2021.

lyrics

I’ve been running around the city’s maze
or i’ve been spending my days watching TV
while the lines on my face they crack and fade

am I too late?
is it too late now?

there’s no one around
they all went down
either North or South
either East or West

the city was best
when you were all in it

am I trapped in this urban nightmare
are they all trapped in suburban white fence
who’s to say what’s supposed to be normal
I don’t want to conform, am I mature
what the fuck happened to all my friends?

am I left behind?

it's so cliche
but i’m indifferent
because things are different now
yes, i’m jaded
and I gotta stop it somehow

Why can love be without a contract
is no offspring really that abstract
I don't want to leave the city
like everyone else to start a family

I don't want to leave the city
