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
