City of Nothing (My Secret Sin)
These sky’s are my prison
And if we could die in heaven
Only the sky’s would be my prison
And yes we we’re dreaming
We just couldn’t leave the riches and luxuries of this life
My friend
I truly miss the comfort
The misery of drowning in the night
I’m giving you something in writing
It’s no longer pain
It’s something like a human substance in lightning
Just like you
I to, would like to witness peace
It brings me back to those lonely days
I’d lay shivering in unsanitized sheets
Hard times and jealousy
Left me a desire to murder my savior
Envy remains a tempted favor
And when it rains
I can hear him calling my name
Another sunrise
It’s there, under the stars, beneath the sky’s
A world of temptation in his eyes
Lets go there, lets escape this city of nothing
Yet the sky’s are my prison
And if we could die in heaven
Only the sky’s would be our prison
And we could escape this city of nothing
