[Lyric] The City (Thewz)

I came to the city tryna chase my dreams
My dreams turned to nightmares and now they're chasing me
It's humbling, cause don't nobody know my name
Or even care to find out who I am, it's such a dirty game
I wonder, will it take me under?
My whole future's riding on this summer
If I fall, I'll lose it all. the sun don't shine, it just wants me sunburnt
But even when it sets, them bright lights
The ones that everybody said would be my nightlights
They haunt me and taunt me and draw me out into this nightlife
But everything here is a lie, cause these bottles just are not mine
And these women aren't here for me, but everybody's here to shine
But if we're all celebrities then why are we
Chasing after hollow dreams, why can't we just let it be
I don't have the patience to be faking anymore though
Cause I don't have the money to be buying out these stores so
Why try? men lie, women lie, both buy
So why not make them spend on this broke guy
But the music goes slow and the coke flies, and I've realized

The city is killing me, oh
The city is killing me, oh
The city is killing me, oh
The city is killing me, oh
But I can't do a thing
But I can't do a thing
But let it
Kill me
Wide awake, can't even blink
Red bull and vodka, vomit in the sink
I can't tell if I've been here for a year or
An eternity but I forgot what I was here for
Why? am I so damn high?
Could have touched the sky but I forgot to try
Cause I've been on that promethazine
Lean, codeine so hard like I want to die
And this city really isn't what it seems
Because out of all my dreams, all that's left now is the screams

New York, oh New York
It is kill, killing me
