Abby Ahmad - Urban Tragedies lyrics

Skyscrapers for miles And sandpaper smiles Your depths of denial Confirm that I've been beat I guess for a while I suffered with style I marched single-file To the tune of your deceit You see my mind don't often Function logically Cause my heart's too often Singing out of key Somebody break these chains And please, Release me From the grasp of these Urban tragedies I keep stepping on cracks I keep checking my back As you plot your attack I'm stuck on repeat I've taken some flack For the courage I lack I live life in flashbacks To preserve your conceit They say that all great things must fall Eventually Once you've surrendered your right To see things clearly I need to shake these chains And get myself free From the grasp of these Urban tragedies It's too late to abort I'm too rushed to resort I'd better s** it up And be a good sport Before what's left of me depletes So I twist and contort For this legend Of sorts On the streets of New York I accept my defeat
