We are so troubled for such young people
Minds like stained glass, broken in steeples
There is no comfort in this city's hands
And there is no company, save the hicks and the heavy metals bands
I have been here now longer than I'd like
It's where I've spent most of my loneliest nights
Still I wish I could flourish where I'm planted
Time is still time and not to be taken for granted
City of refuge, city of
Sadness runs in the city's blood
City of refuge, city of
City of refuge, city of
I sit in sadness like it's a chair
And it's uncomfortable but I'm too bored to care
I'm in love now and that helps a lot
But I still look and see all that can't be forgot
So here's the trigger, but I'm so scared
I could pull it now, but I feel so unprepared
And here's the thing: what if I can't sing?
What if I can't make it with only words and strings?
Words and strings
City of refuge, city of
Sadness runs in the city's blood
City of refuge, city of
City of refuge, city of lost love
What does it take to look inside yourself?
What would it change? What if you were someone else?
City of refuge, city of
Sadness runs in the city's blood
City of refuge, city of
City of refuge, city of lost love
