Escapism Pt. II

Since a broken elegy
For a city of smoke and decay
Whose alleys are choking with collapsed
Hopes and ravaged hearts
These high-rises serve as tombstones
From our neighbors' eyes rise smoke
We're buckling under gridlocked grievances
And a century of fear
My friends are all dead
Otherwise they're dying
All so fucking lonely
Never alone
Dwell on what's missing
Dwell on what might've been
So we hide
Behind double locked doors
There's no hope here
There's barely life here
We're ashen and sallow
We're all fucked
We're only kids
And we're part of the machine
